Back

I was a little worried in the pre -match stage, those butterflies in my stomach. It was very cold. It brings old memories of what we are used to trying in daily life. I was happy in my game, I felt very good during the entire match, it was not an easy match, but I managed to keep up with my team mates, who have a little more rhythm, and I was able to add to show that I am ready to help throughout the season.

feeling

– I live with great passion and joy in everything that is happening today with our club Botafogo. I have gone through many difficult and difficult situations, at the present time, I feel very happy to see what is happening in the club, the way my teammates deal with pressure, and how they face matches. It was something that motivated me a lot in recovery, as I saw the amount of donations they offer to Totavojo and how the campaign was going in the Brazilian championship, with Botafogo’s progress, in a wonderful moment. For anyone who has had difficult times, this was great.

Secret

“I really think it is the unit that we have as a group. Partnership between everyone. We have a very good relationship, as we coexist very good, and we see it in training. We have noticed that the intensity is very good. Maintaining the team last year was essential as well.

Sudamirikana Cup is full of Brazilian teams

Nowadays, we know what Brazilian football represents in South America. In our tournaments, we know the quality of the Brazilian national team, the players in each team and its strength with the American Football Association. It makes it easy to get good players. We also know our strength regarding the opponent we will face. They respect us a lot, in the case of Ghawrani. I know people in the club and know their opinion of us, and how much they respect us. Nowadays, Brazilian football is in the foreground, for investment and structural reasons.

Lucas Perry

– We have a very good relationship. We have said several times that we have a very nice partnership, and we talked a lot about our work, our opponent. Sometimes I can, give a tip in the first half, he told me things on Wednesday during the match. We help each other, one happy for the other. He showed his happiness because I was able to act after a long time. This helps us live together, work and improve. The fact that everyone is fine makes the other at its best.

The motivation to return

– What strengthened me and showed that I can return well, and at a great level, is what happened to me last year. In 2022, I came from a good period of time and played almost every match throughout the year. This showed me that I could still do it, and that my body is 100 % ready to do what I love more. It turned out that I was injured at the end of the year. But if you can play throughout the year without problems, I will recover soon, I will be 100 % able to play and help. The other motivation was to see my teammates on a daily basis, good relationships, and better and better training. This brings results in the field. It also made me more enthusiastic to return.

The key is the key

– I felt that when many players who had previously played in other big teams agreed or were coming from abroad to come to Potafojo. I spoke with André Mazzuco, who made it clear to them that they would not find an ideal structure at the first moment regarding their habit of it. They still do. The idea of ​​this coming was already knew that they would come with a great desire to win. There was a big change, as I saw players like Tiquinho, Eduardo, Tchê Tchê and Cuesta, and the quality they enjoyed, began to think you have the possibility not only to compete, but to win matches. It shows you how good our team and gives you confidence. Potafogo competes today. We say this word, but we do not give the necessary importance. Many teams are trying, failing, and Botavojo compete. We have struggled for 90 minutes and achieved victories.

Marcelo Grimaldi that it Bruno Lag

– With the goalkeeper coach, he is very good, he said he came to add, he is very open to what we are used to. Certainly he will put new ways, believed to be great. We goalkeepers want to continue to grow and learn. Anything you can add will be welcome. Regarding Bruneo Lagi, I imagine that, with all his experience, he will do his best to the team. We are completely supported. Two coaches have passed, Luis Castro And Caçapa, we always support, do our best. It is the best way to help.

Council and John Tech

– They asked several times about what can be improved, and what we have seen is to do. The relationship with directors is very nice, and still is. John Textur, when he comes to visit us, he is well received, he plays a lot with all of us. He doesn’t seem to be the owner of the club, he is very nice, and very nice with us all. All this represents the Botafogo environment. Very good light. We keep this, not because we are fine, but also last year, with turmoil in the Brazilians, we had a good atmosphere. All that happened made us stronger and united.

– As I said, the club owner does not appear through his way of dealing with the players, and how he communicates with the fans. Very cool, a very different way to exist. For this reason, we also love him. It is always well received. When he goes to the dressing room, we play with it. It is the difference of Potavojo. A light atmosphere, it can understand this and you can see the special affection it enjoys for the club.

renewal Mobilize

– The masses move a lot. Nowadays, I realize that there are many children who rooted for Tafuogo, and more and more. It is what I see and make a big difference in daily life. My foreign colleagues feel this affection, I have always felt it, and I try to make it clear that Botafogo fans are in this way, and they always treat them very well. Nowadays, there are a lot of children who encourage Potafogo, and this makes me very proud. They started getting this affection, I think this is exciting.

Brazilian championship

– The motive alone, in the place where we are and how we play, makes everyone focus, donate, surrender, and take care of themselves, to be 100 % in games. This motivation leads us and plays an important role. There are more tours to go, but we don’t look at that. Many are missing. But what we can do is maintain this regularity. The motivation in the place where we are gradually leads us to maintain this dream. Nowadays it is preserved, be regular and what we all think of this way. Nothing more than the next game.

Chat with Abi Gato Fernandez

Our conversation was always very simple. He knows how much I love Potafojo since the first day she arrived. I feel very happy when I talk about the things that change in the club, infrastructure issues, and sponsorship of athletes, and that I live this beautiful moment. All my family and friends are with me, they support Botafogo, and even more now after we live this very good moment. I hope we can continue to do this wonderful work.

Louis Castro heritage

Really training, after Luis Castro, began to become more intense and demanded a lot. The entire team used to training this type of intensity. With each structure of physiology and GPS (GPS), the club can continue training according to these standards. Not only the intensity, it has also changed because he asked us to play the same way as playing at home or outside the ground. Not everyone is used to that, it is usually those who throw it away more closed. They are responses to what we are going through, to be able to register inside and outside the house. These are factors that have changed a lot in Potafojo these days.

Tikwinho Suarez

– Tiquinho is really a very simple and humble man outside the field. This is very important, the values ​​he possesses with his teammates, although he was already a top scorer in many other tournaments. He is going through a wonderful time, he is used to it, he is an ordinary man daily and plays a lot. On the field, he is different, he can play a bad ball that he will kill in the box and continue. We were surprised by the things he performed in games. We are happy, and everyone encourages him to continue to score goals and help us. It does not change, that man is still loved by everyone.

The ability to rotate the goalkeeper

“Nothing has been discussed yet. If Potafojo has two real chances to win titles, we will do our best to represent the club in the best way. To move forward and benefit from the qualified team, we must be able to fight in all championships.
