After a draw in the last round of the first half, Botafogo coach Artur Jorge analyzed mistakes and asked for calm for the leadership of the Brasileirão
After finishing the first round as leaders of the Brasileirão with a draw against São Pauloaway from home, the coach of Botafogo, Arthur Jorgeanalyzed the team’s current situation. In addition to diagnosing what he believes his team is lacking, the Portuguese also asked for calm in the euphoria over the first position.
“We felt this difficulty throughout the 90 minutes. At some moments, we were able to control the game better than others. The difficulty was having control over the game, especially because it started with two penalties in the first 10 minutes and this prevented it from having more dynamics. We lacked a little of that, more criteria with the ball so that we could have something closer to our idea of the game and be able to reach the goal with more criteria and quality.“, analyzed Arthur.
The coach then spoke about his satisfaction with the 40 points won during the first 19 games of the competition, but pointed out that there is still a long way to go before celebrating the title. The coach once again called for consistency to continue scoring points and fighting for the goal that the club has set.
“I also need to recognize that the other side is a team with good individual values and very strong collectively. It’s another point added. That’s what will allow us to look at our classification so that we can be satisfied or not based on the points we get. In the end, that’s what counts in our trajectory. We finished this first round with 40 points. They are 40 very important points for Botafogo’s trajectory. The other half is missing, consistency will always be very important for us.“, he completed.
For the first round of the next round, Botafogo will have the cruise ahead, at home, on Saturday, 27th, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). The midweek round led the team to increase the distance to the Palm trees for four points, which lost the vice-leadership, seeing the Flamengo stay three points behind.
