Botafogo e Flamengo face each other this Saturday, at Estádio Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, for Carioca Championship, with a peculiar scenario. The red-black team will spare starters due to the final of the Recopa Sudamericana, which generated debate on the program “Seleção SporTV”.
For the commentator and former player Juniorthe pressure is on Botafogo.
– It’s the kind of game that doesn’t have much responsibility for this team, which will play against Botafogo’s holder. Play full responsibility – said Junior.
Already the narrator Renata Silveira left favoritism with the rubro-negro club.
– Flamengo was already expected to go with a reserve team because of Tuesday’s game, the final of the Recopa Sul-Americana. But I don’t think it takes away favoritism so much, even playing with reservation – he opined.
The host Andre Rizek did not agree.
– It is controversial. Last year there was a much smaller difference between the teams than in other years. Botafogo is adjusted, has good names, I see them as favorites. But it has a weight that it hasn’t had against Flamengo for a long time. It’s a sticky game for Botafogo, a catch. It would be a bad sign for the Botafogo native to lose that game, to team C, because last year he won a game and lost another against Flamengo’s main team – stressed Rizek, who returned the ball to Renata.
– Maybe, let’s improve that there, it’s 50/50, maybe half and half – completed Renata Silveira.
