After Botafogo’s victory over Fluminense 2-0 on Saturday evening (26), the coach Renato Paiva praised so much the result of Alvinegro that the glorious deserved a more “elastic” victory. The fact is that the glorious have marked the objectives with Vitinho in the first half and Savarino in the complementary phase.

“I think that once again we played to have another result, for merits, more elastic. In the first half, we deserved to have come out for more than a goal or more than two. With all due respect for Fluminense, but I am evaluating what my team did in offensive terms. And what they did in defensive terms because Fluminense was not even on an objective in the first half,” said Renato Paiva.

The victory in the classic served to cool the Botafogo crisis, which did not win for four games adding Brazilirão and Libertadores. Therefore, the commander asked the performance against Fluminense to serve as inspiration for his commands until the end of the season.

“It is this compaction that I want the team to have. Sometimes it cannot, sometimes … and after this fantastic first half, that I really liked the offensive dynamic, the pressure more upstream, to win the balls at the Fluminense exit, to have good on the loss of the ball, which is not easy with the games every three days.

With the result, Botafogo has increased and is now in sixth place, five points from the leader Palmeiras, which still plays in the round. Glorious returns to the field now next Wednesday (30). He receives the capital (DF), at 19h, for the third phase of the Brazilian cup. Already from Brazilirão, Alvinegro visit Bahia Saturday (3), at 21h.
