After the early elimination in Libertadores, Botafogo not only left the continental tournament with sporty frustration, but also faced the provocations of Ldu. The Ecuadorian club used their social networks to pin the Cariocas with a phrase by the coach Renato Paiva, dictated in the group stage, when the Brazilian team had won 2-1 in Nilton Santos.
At the time, even with the defeat, Paiva highlighted the performance of Ldu and projected the recovery in the tournament. The speech, which seemed forgotten, returned to light on Thursday (August 21), shortly after the victory of the team 2-0 of Quito, who decreed the elimination of botofogo in the 16 of the competition of the competition. In a publication on the official profile of the club, the Ecuadorians saved the phrase: “Football is not right sometimes. But we will have the opportunity to return here. And we will return stronger.”
With the result at the Blanca Stadium house, the Brazilian team was overcome on the 2-1 aggregate score, ending their campaign in Libertadores in a melancholy way. The team led by Davide Ancelotti had irregular performance and created few possibilities for 90 minutes. Despite the changes promoted in the second phase, the team has followed offensive efficacy without efficiency, wasteing the only great opportunity in the last few minutes.
The match in Quito also scored the first defeat of Ancelotti as a visitor responsible for Botafogo. The coach recognized the defects and has already designed planning for the rest of the season. “We have two important goals, the Brazilian cup, which the club has never won, and remains in the top 4 of the table [do Campeonato Brasileiro]”The technician said about the field departure.
In the meantime, in the changing rooms, the mood was frustration. Some players have also admitted performance below expectations. “It wasn’t a good day for all of us,” said Arthur Cabral. Marçal has already summarized the sensation of the group: “He hasn’t flowed. But we have a whole year in advance and we will try to start over with other championships”.
Despite the elimination, Botafogo maintains important appointments in the next few days. Sunday (August 24), the team faces young people, at 18:30 (Brasilia Time), for the Brazilian championship. Subsequently, he faces Vasco in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup, Wednesday (August 27), at 21h30 (Brasilia Time), in San Januário.
The provocative phrase of the LDU repercussions among the fans on social networks, strengthening the rivalry created between the teams after the ferocious controversy in the group stage and the decisive meeting in the Knockout. After all, South American football, in addition to the technique, is marked by memory and mockery when you win.
