For 30 minutes, glorious changes quickly from water to wine, a counterattack teacher, verticality, imposition and effectiveness
Botafogo had to reconcile the performance and the result to support the beginning of the coach Davide Ancelotti, in particular for the anticlimax of the last round of the Brazilian championship. Finally, this wedding took place on Tuesday (29), at the Nilton Santos stadium, in the victory over the Red Bull Bragantino 2-0, for the 16 of the 16 of the Brazilian Cup. Glorious has toasted the audience at a level of 30 minutes, enough time to build a good result for the return, next week, to Bragança Paulista. Good score and margin for the cast don’t let your guard down.
Once again, Botafogo?
The first images of Botafogo at Tuesday’s meeting (29) were the same as they were from the second half of Saturday (26), in the 1-1 draw against the Corinthians, also to the suburb of giant, of Brazilirão. Excerpt in the first 15 minutes, the team gave the freedom to Bragantino to achieve John’s goal and did not conceive any interesting attack plot. The ball, by the way, beat Cabral, escaped Savarino’s feet and returned to Gross Mass, a team, so far, more organized and much quality. These were moments of flutter and nervousness in front of a good opponent.
Ancelotti way
Football, however, is full of nuances. Glorioso managed to adapt quickly, make a less control of control and articulate offensive games. In the first of these, Vitinho climbed and rolled low to dry and right of the Montoro. Who would say that Shirt 2 would finally hit an attack offer? From there, the game was another. Botafogo took on the protagonism of a great team and relegated Bragantino instead of sniper. Homnipresent, Barboza disarmed in defense and still appeared in the attack A, Capo, electrocuted Cleiton, after the center to the extent of Cuiabano. Contract, verticality, imposition, effectiveness and numerical superiority. The visitor no longer played until rest.
Davide Ancelotti has already warned that, in Brazil, the second half of the games was more open. At the letter, the Italian coach agreed the projection. Botafogo had a clear possibility, when Cabral left only in the face of Cleiton and, instead of running for the embrace, he consecrated the Custodian of the writer of San Paolo. On the other hand, John, who had already shone in the first phase, saved the most traditional victory. That is, the Alvinegro could have come out of the possibility of 3-0 to a 2-1. But the glorious controlled the game and had not that dizzying physical fall from the clash against Timon, even lowering the impetus of an almost exemplary first step.
A team with several highlights
Pantaleão won all behind. Their performances, always sober, are fantastic. Barboza had his winning rebellion of the prize. Center-HalFreitas, absent during the weekend, has improved dynamics in distribution. Savarino, after taking a reserve bench, grew up during the game and put the team with the most resourcefulness. Newton has maintained regularity, although it does not appear so much. Arthur has been another culminating point and always participates in the goals. The sides flew. Montoro is a phenomenon of nature. Cabral could have been a little better. But the best collective performance in the six games of the Ancelotti era.
