John: “Tuesday’s game is life for Botafogo”


The goalkeeper celebrates the unusual “defense” at the end of the match against Bahia, this Saturday, for the Brazilian championship




Unable to triumph as a visitor under the command of the coach Renato Paiva (five losses and a draw), Botafogo has another clash away from home in front. Tuesday (6), the most traditional Carabobo visits to Venezuela for the fourth round of the Copa Libertadores group A. Alvinegro is in third place of the key, with three points, behind Estudiantes (six) and Universidad de Chile (seven).

“It is a game of life for Botafogo. We cool our heads because there is more,” said goalkeeper John.

In the defeat in Bahia 1-0, for the round 7 of the Brazilian championship, this Saturday (3), in Fonte Nova, John was expelled when he put his hand on the ball outside the area, in addition. However, Var requested a revision and the referee understood that the ball would not go directly to the goal. Therefore, the Goal Alvinegra brace was only with the yellow card.

“I took two steps back because the dug of Bahia’s player was weak. It wasn’t for the red. Then he corrected (referee). I made a beautiful defense,” he celebrated.

The goalkeeper also complained about his bad trip to Salvador.

“We didn’t do our best and we’ve pity a little,” he said.
