Bruno Lage spares no praise for Segovinha: “With quality…”

After the great victory of Botafogo against bahiaby the score of 3 to 0, with two goals from Diego Costa and one of Luis Henrique, Bruno Lage talked about yet another good performance by Matías Segovia. Known as Segovinha among the coaches, the player has been gaining space in the squad and, even without having scored yet, he is already considered one of the technical leaders of the team.

Since the arrival of the Portuguese coach, the right wing is a position that has been greatly modified in recent matches. However, most of the time, it was the young Paraguayan who started playing. “Mati (Segovia) had a very good game, always with good decisions in offensive terms. And with impeccable defensive quality, whether closing inside or outside”said Bruno Lage.

In addition to especially treating the Paraguayan, the coach made a point of talking about other players who are undergoing a maturation process in the squad. “What interests me most is that the players have my confidence, I demand that they work every day, and opportunities arise every moment”, he said.

A point that is always raised is the potential that Segovinha can reach, as the player is only 20 years old and has an exponential market value. Even according to theGE‘, the club’s idea is to preserve the player’s growth as much as possible, as with other youngsters in the squad.

“We have worked to evolve. My way of working is to have people like Mati (Segovia), who came in today and helped us. Having people like Luis Henrique, who leaves the bench and decides the game with a great goal. The team has been working for 10 games now and we have maintained consistency in our performances.”scored the Portuguese.
