After an exciting start, Segovinha has yet to score for Botafogo

At the beginning of Brasileirãoeverything indicated that the Botafogo there was a prominent player who could help the team’s campaign. After a great performance against Palm treesstill in the first round, Matías SegoviaO Segovinha, won the hearts of the Botafogo fans. However, the fans’ excitement was not reflected on the field, at least so far.

With 27 matches played, the young Paraguayan has yet to find the net with the Fogão shirt. In total, Segovinha has two assists this season and these are his direct contributions to goals. The numbers are not good, but they get worse with all the expectations that have been created for the attacker.

Even without scoring, the Botafogo fans were enchanted by the Paraguayan’s way of playing, who received a song as a tribute. However, since then, Segovinha has failed to respond on the field. Many times during the season, in fact, the striker was just an option on the bench.

After the promising start and approval from the fans, the young man took on the responsibility of wearing Botafogo’s number 10 shirt. Previously, Gustavo Sauer owned the number, but he left the club in the July transfer window. Since then, Segovía has had few opportunities as a starter and was not effective when he entered the field.

In 2023, the player did not play the full 90 minutes of any match and, with Tiago Nunes, should continue to be just an option on the reserve bench. In the debut against Strength, the Paraguayan didn’t even enter the field. Against Santosthe number 10 entered the final stretch of the match, when Fogão was still winning 1-0.
