kittenof Botafogoopened the game in relation to the defeat in Copa Sudamericana 2023 for the Defense and Justice, in the quarterfinals. With the score of 2 to 1 for the Argentinian home team in the return game, the aggregate was 3 to 2, and Glorioso said goodbye to the continental dispute. In an interview after the duel, the goalkeeper revealed where the team went wrong.
“For me, in the game in Brazil (at Nilton Santos), we sinned a little. We had several chances to increase the score. Today (Wednesday the 30th), we didn’t play a big game. So, the thought remains that we could have opened up an advantage”, scored Gatito on the Paramount+ platform. However, the athlete stressed the importance of ‘turning the key’ in the season.
“We are sad, aching for the defeat, for the disqualification. But we are focused on our goal, to make a great [Campeonato] Brazilian”, he added. O Botafogo has great chances of taking the Brasileirão 2023: currently, Glorioso leads the ranking with 11 points of difference for the runner-up (palm trees). Alvinegro’s next commitment will be the derby against Flamengoon Saturday, 2nd, at 21:00 (Brasília time).
The Botafogo coach, Bruno Lagetook responsibility for the elimination to himself: “I am responsible. I made all the decisions and I don’t regret any of them. I ask the fans to continue supporting. I’ve been working hard, in a humble way. There are people of character here. Regardless of things that may happen along the way, fans need to continue supporting the team, which is going through a beautiful moment.”
