Focused on Carioca, Botafogo reappears at Lonier

De Paula, Nascimento and Carlos Alberto are the highlights of the group that painted to begin work for 2025

Focusing on the next edition of the Campeonato Carioca, Botafogo kicked off the 2025 season, this Wednesday (2), at the Espaço Lonier. In the revival of the cast, some new features. Among them were players who did not travel to the Interclubes do Qatar, such as center forward Nascimento and striker Carlos Alberto. The pair were also joined by names returning from loan, such as midfielders De Paula and Newton, as well as Uruguayan centre-forward Adamo. The latter has not yet debuted for Mais Tradicional. Third goalkeeper in 2024, Raul was also in this group.

In 12 days it will finally be the turn of the main players of the Juventus squad to return to Lonier. And with many victims. After all, midfielder Almada and striker Luiz Henrique have left the starting line-up, both ready to strengthen Lyon. Among the reserves, however, the boat is much larger. Gatito (goalkeeper), Adryelson (defender), Marçal (left back), Hugo (left back), Tchê Tchê (midfielder), Eduardo (midfielder) and Romero (midfielder) have already said goodbye to Glorioso, as has Rafael (fullback). -right), now retired.

In addition to not presenting reinforcements for 2025, the club has not even defined who the new coach will be, replacing Artur Jorge of Braga, who, guided by the vile metal of petrodollars, prefers to coach Al-Rayyan, of Qatar, following the Lone Star’s successful work. Botafogo recently spoke with André Jardine, three-time Mexican América-MEX champion, and there was a rapprochement between the parties.

For now, however, Botafogo will be entrusted to Carlos Leiria, Under 20 coach of Glorioso.

Botafogo returns to the Colossus

With an alternative team, Botafogo debuts in the Campeonato Carioca, Saturday 1/11, against Maricá, at the Nilton Santos Stadium. In fact, it will be the first time that Alvinegro will be at the Colosso do Subúrbio after winning their third Brazilian championship, in December last year, with a 2-1 victory over San Paolo, in the last round of the competition.
