The commander believes that Alvinegro was superior to Vasco in the duel, but this was not enough to advance to the semifinals of the Brazilian cup
Botafogo greeted the Brazilian cup losing 5-4 in the penalty in Vasco to Nilton Santos. At the press conference, the coach Davide Ancelotti said that the team was better and complained of the elimination, especially in front of the fans, who beat the public record of the season. Now, the Alvinegro will only have the Brazilian championship by the end of the year, since he has not managed to defend the title of Libertadores.
“Now it is a sense of a lot of disappointment. Everyone feels a lot for the lost opportunity, the fans, the party they have made, for the support they gave to the whole game, so now it is a moment of great disappointment for us, we had two very equal, very balanced games. Today, we were a little better than in the game against them, but we had to win the game today, so we had a lot of disappointment,” said disappointment “.
“I think there is not much to say today. We played well, we dominated the game. Today we recovered the ball closest to the attack, we played better, but it was not enough,” he added.
In football, in the Knockout, what matters is the classified team. Obviously I have to analyze the way we play. I think so, the game volume especially in the second phase was better. This is not the first time that as a team we generated a game, the domain in the opposing field. There is a small lack of finish, this passage inside the area, this last step that sometimes we do not do it. If I have to talk about the team’s performance, without forgetting the disappointment, the team deserved to win the game. “But that’s not enough,” he said.
Brazilirão in front
With 35 points, Alvinegro occupies the fifth place of Brazilirão and will have to face a direct clash. After all, the next commitment is scheduled for Sunday (14), at 17:30 (from Brasilia), against San Paolo, to Morumbis. Even in the face of this scenario, the coach clarified that Botafogo still has objectives in the season.
“We have to show a good game. It is clear that it is to secure for Libertadores and Brazil Cup for next year. The fan will return to believe that the team plays well. We have to resume trust because today it was a serious blow for us. It is to continue working, not thinking too far away. Thinking about a game, doing well in the competition we have, which is the Brazilian.
