Botafogo: After controversy, John Textor publishes an official note: “I will not…”

After the frustrating result against Palm trees, John Textr, owner of SAF Botafogomade harsh statements, criticizing the CBF and about the electrifying game. Days later, the American published an official note talking about his speeches on the edge of the field, guaranteeing that he will not “back down” in his stance.

“Our ambitions are clear from our name… BOTAFOGO. I will not back down when challenged by people in positions of power who will do anything, and say anything, to hold on to power. We are BOTAFOGO. I’m here to set it on fire”wrote the businessman.

After the 4-3 defeat against Palmeiras, Textor made statements about the refereeing of the match, claiming that the result was a “robbery”, given the way in which Adryelson, Botafogo defender, was sent off. Furthermore, the American criticized the CBF, a clash that has generated controversy since the postponement of the game against the Strengthvalid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.

Furthermore, during his criticism of the CBF, John Textor sent a direct message to Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the confederation, asking him to resign his position. As a result, the American leader was sued by the entity, as was the influencer Felipe Netoa Botafogo fan, who called the organization “corrupt”.

“I was invited here, by wise people in our government, to help bring change to the beautiful game of Brazil and I will not back down when challenged by people in positions of power who will do everything, and talk about everything, to arrest to power”concluded John Textor.
