The club reduces the best intake of the year in “Manafá effect” and promotes another embarrassing episode in the transfers market
Wendel’s retirement came through an official Botafogo note. But it would adapt perfectly to a live In which the Twitiro leader Ricardo Rotenberg would have communicated, lying on the sofa, the end of the pre-contracting wheel with the more traditional. Or in that audio of the “eternal president” Carlos Augusto Montenegro after announcing Yaya Touré in glorioso. The SAF, led by the majority partner John Texor, loves to flirt with amateurism. Modus operandi. It seems the desire to promote a nostalgic session of the worst moments of the associative club. There is an intrinsic obligation to revisit the embarrassing errors of that time.
The best hiring of 2025 was reduced to “Manafá Effect”. Wendel would change the botofogo level in the second half of this season. The price of the acquisition of the Zenit steering wheel, 20 million euros (R $ 127.7 million), indicated its size for the year. But the Alvinegro was all over and, for now, it goes to the second half of the semester with a team much less than 2024 (in both semesters, including). You can write: the bomb will explode in the hands of the coach Renato Paiva, the last one in the line of the list of culprits.
Geopolitical 1 x 0 Botafogo
Botafogo blames the geopolitics for bankruptcy and his subsequent return from Wendel to Zenit. After all, the United States of grip From John Textor he strengthened penalties against Russia because of the war in Ukraine. Uncle Sam has just forgotten to include the sale of Luiz Henrique at the Club of São Petersburg and the assumption of Arthur in the retaliation measures against Vladimir Putin. By the way, the Russian offensive before the neighbors began in February 2022, the same year as the western reaction. Wasn’t it a cash problem? Alvinegro’s note leaves several questions in the air.
While Botafogo wrapped up, Wendel took all the personal effects in Russia, landed in Rio de Janeiro to treat an injury, sign a contract with the more traditional and start a new life in the state capital. Surprised, he reacted in accordance with frustration. The Lonely Star fan accompanies him in annoyance. And the Textor, centralizing of the past, does not appear in Brazil to give satisfaction for three months.
