Botafogo coach Artur Jorge criticized the timing of the match, said he was thrilled with the “deserved” victory and also praised Flamengo for their effort in the heat
Botafogo coach, Artur Jorge, praised the team’s performance, especially in the second half of the match against Flamengo, this Sunday (28/4), at the Maracanã. Glorioso beat Rubro-Negro 2-0, regaining the lead in the Brazilian championship standings. Artur Jorge assessed that there was a certain balance in the initial phase, but the team was unable to finish effectively.
“We had moments of greater moderation than of achieving the opposite objective. We needed to better define the times in which we were able to start in transition,” he said.
In the final stage, the technician claimed to have managed to repair some problems.
“We tried to correct some fundamental aspects and we managed to do it well. We had a very good second half,” he said.
Artur Jorge highlights the merit of the team
By the way, the 2-0 victory was built in the second half. And the first goal arrives in the 7th minute, boosting the team’s morale. Luiz Henrique strikes from the edge of the area to open the scoring. Despite the physical problems of the players, which forced Botafogo to close, Glorioso had space to work on their better transition characteristics. He thus closed the match with a goal from Savarino, in the 47th minute.
“It’s a victory due to the merit of the players, how much they worked and how effective they were. We suffered, but it was a fair victory for what we produced,” he celebrated.
The time of the game, on a hot day, is the subject of complaints
The negative point, according to Artur Jorge, was the game time: 11:00. After all, since the climate in Rio de Janeiro is hot, both teams had to sacrifice to manage the dispute. That said, he also praised his rival for his efforts.
“Two good teams with high-level players and we could have put on a better show if we had other conditions to play. Both teams did what they could in very difficult conditions,” he lamented.
