Joaquin Correa was officially presented as reinforcement Botafogo on Friday (June 13), during the concentration of the team for the dispute on the Club World Cup in Santa Barbara, California. Although he has not yet debuted on the field, the Argentine striker has distinguished himself from four lines for the ease with which he communicates in Portuguese, something that attracted attention in the first interview granted.
During the conversation with the press, the player, nicknamed “Tucu”, said he had lived with several Brazilians during his career in European football, which facilitated adaptation to the language. “I have many Brazilian friends. Lucas Leiva, Luiz Felipe, Luis Henrique, Andreas Pereira … Many played with me,” he said, among the laughter, justifying his “Portuguese”.
By the way, Luis Henrique, who recently left Olympique de Marseille to sign with Inter – club for which Correa was playing – played an important role in coming from Rio. “He told me very well of the club. He said I would be very happy with Botafogo,” said Correa, indicating that the exchange of messages between the two has positively influenced his decision.
The contract signed with Botafogo is valid until the end of 2027. Correa did not arrive at transfer costs, since Inter would not have renewed his link. According to the reports of the Italian press, it acts as a second striker and stands out for his tactical intelligence, although his performance has been inconsistent in recent seasons.
Speaking of the Club World Cup, Correa showed enthusiasm with the news. “It’s a very beautiful competition, new for everyone. We have to have fun,” he said. The player also highlighted the union of the Botafoguense cast as a decisive factor for recent titles of Libertadores and Brazilirão.
