Watch the video above.
– It is a dispute that has these particularities. The two synthetic fields help both teams. Atletico-PR is a very technical team that has had success in the last few cups. It’s a very dangerous team. There are 16 great teams. There is not much difference between the opponents. People will prepare. We will face Atletico Madrid three times in 15 days. Let’s get to know each other well (laughs). The Copa do Brasil is always our goal. It will be a great battle. We always follow the teams. In Atletico’s case it is a special preparation because we will prepare for the first game and then we will have to prepare again for the second. This is the advantage when playing against the same opponent. We are in a good moment. We are leading the Brazilian championship. It’s a long walk. This is the result of work that must continue to be done. We hope to perpetuate this beautiful moment. We have to be very prepared. It doesn’t have many secrets – declared Mazzuco.
– Botafogo fans at home are our great ally. So, it’s a crowd that makes a lot of difference. So for us there is an advantage in this regard. We need to get a good result in the first match to be able to keep it to look for the table. It will be a great challenge and we hope to be well prepared… Every victory is a goal for the team and everyone who plays has the chance to be in the starting lineup. We are managing it. We are talking about Copa do Brasil, Sudamericana and Brasileirão. It will be a very important month – he added.
