The target of the protests of Botafogo fans after the defeat in Recopa, the owner of the SAF of the club John Texor spoke after the Thursday game in Nilton Santos. The American recalled that the beginning of 2024 was not of success and spoke of the team’s construction process.
“We started the year as in 2024. We were horrible in Carioca, we did not have a coach until the last of the season and we delivered the best year in many. I apologize for the results now in these championships. We follow the pre-installation preparation, the window of transfers, so the team is still in the formulation phase”, explained in an interview with Espn.
Textor stressed that the first months of the year are dedicated to the team assembly. For the leader, the Botafogo team has today is better than the beginning of last year and has also stressed that it will not act in the same way throughout the season.
“I use these months to create the cast. Back to last year. This team that we have now has been better prepared today, compared to the February 2024 team. I ask fans for patience and I apologize if they are sad, but I will not play a calendar of eleven months,” he said.
Marketing cups
When asked if worried about the results of the season, the American Relativized. Once again, Textor compared the situation with 2024 and said that now it is not the time to be at the top of the mountain and define the contested competitions as “marketing hearts”.
“We were champions from South America, at the end of November 2024. We were Brazil’s champions in December 2024. You can’t be at the top of the mountain in Preseason. The season starts now, the fans must be ready. Remember: we also built this team at the beginning of the season in 2024 and we win the title.
Arrival of Renato Paiva
One of the news in Nilton Santos during the final was the presentation of Renato Paiva, after almost two months from the departure of Artur Jorge. Textor explained that he searched a coach who adapted to the club’s shape to play and not for market interests.
“I am looking for coaches who want to play on our way. Not those who try to make money here, those who want fame. I want an intelligent coach who has a quick and intense team,” he concluded.
