Renato Paiva admits Botafogo’s bad performance in the debut: “It wasn’t an excellent game”


Alvinegro won, but the coach recognized the bad performance




Botafogo won and did not convince Seattle Sounders 2-1 at the debut of the Club World Cup. After the game, the coach Renato Paiva analyzed the duel and was sincere to recognize that his team did not make a good second phase.

– We started the game very well, we had opportunities, scored goals. The first half was ok. In the second, he had more intensity of the opponent, he kicked the goal more, we felt a little tired. I heard the team a little tired and with difficulty controlling the aggression and intensity of the opponent. It was not our great game, but the first competition game is difficult for anxiety. We have scored three points, starting from the victory is always important – said Paiva, in an interview with “Dazn”.

The coach recognized that his team did not work well with the ball standing. He said his team will have lessons for the next round.

– Obviously the opportunities we have to score we need to convert and have to be more with the ball. Today our performance was not very good because we didn’t get the ball. Our DNA is to keep the ball. When you don’t have it, the opponents play well. He said yesterday they know what to do, we suffered for this. We won the ball and lost the ball a lot, “he explained.

With the victory, Botafogo reaches three points, but it is second because the PSG has a better balance between goal. Both teams face each other next Thursday at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.
