Diversity, Jorge Jesus’ system at Flamengo and experience: commentators reveal Bruno Lage’s expectations at Botafogo

to hit Bruno Lage like Botafogo To replace Luis Castro stirred the Brazilian press on Friday. The Portuguese led Benfica and Wolverhampton prominently and suspended Marcello Raed They saw similarities between Lage’s way of playing and Flamengo’s Jorge JesusLibertadores and Brazilian champions for 2019.

– Since the news that I looked for his matches in taking out Benfica and Wolverhampton, he is a coach who changes his team structure a lot according to the pieces he has, but in the first year with Benfica, which is his great year, he played in a structure quite similar to the one that Jorge Jesus used in Flamengo, 4- 1-3-2 – Raed explained during the “exchange of cards,” and continued:

– Hey Gabriel PeirceBy the way, he was one of the key players in that team, playing the role of Gerson in Flamengo de Jesus, and he had the role of second striker inside which at that time was Joao Felix, and Botafogo did not have that. The second attacker in front (Edward?). The Benfica defenders had a very thin line, which puts pressure on their opponents, and the Botafogo defenders do not have this property, at least Victor Cuesta does not have it. Let’s see how it will fit in Botafogo.

another hanging on the table, Ricardo Gonzalez He praised the choice of Botafogo.

– Anticipation is the best it can be, because we are talking about a coach with more experience than (Claudio) Casaba (temporary) and Botafogo are in a comfortable position in the first place. There is no indication that Lage is a technician with only one blueprint. I find Botafogo’s agility interesting. Atlético-MG was interested, but they didn’t agree and now they do. This is a very clear indication that those from abroad view the SAF club differently from the associative club, which changes coaches all the time. Today Botafogo offers more security for coaches to work – thinking, however, that Lage arrives “under pressure”, said Gonzalez.

– Lagy arrived with a little pressure, not that Botafogo should be a champion of Brazil, he is a foreign coach, he needs to adapt to Brazilian football, get to know the team, but the club needs, because of its position in the table, to go to Libertadores. I think he needs to show it and he will show it, because wherever he went he showed his work. He added that reaching tenth place in the English Premier League with Wolverhampton is a lot.
