The team captain indicates a factor that allowed the bloc to stumble and commented on the pressure on Davide Ancelotti
Botafogo lived another night that the fan wants to forget. This Wednesday (17), Alvinegro also opened 3-0 in Missol in the first half, but returned badly in the second phase and was linked in the middle of Nilton Santos. The score prevented the stove from returning to Brazilirão’s G4.
The result increased the pressure on the Alvinegro after the eliminations of Libertadores and the Brazil Cup. The midfielder Marlon Freitas, captain of the team, has attributed the difference in posture in both times as a decisive factor to stumble in the direct clash.
“The difference was the posture. In the first half we had a lot of courage to play, appear, associate our team well, with a lot of possession, attracting the opponent well and attacking our shoulders. In the second half we lost some, this movement, this touch of the ball.
For the player, the draw is inadmissible for the result that the team built in the first phase. Marlon also said he includes Botafogo fans and said the team must bring the fan to his side in the next game, against Atlético Mineiro.
“We have to bring the fan to our side. We know the indignation of the fans, it is inadmissible for us to make a score of 3 to 0 and take the draw. Even if the Missol team is a great team, he is making a great campaign, but we were winning the game in the first half. Now he is climbing, following, because on Saturday we have another difficult game,” he said.
Pressure in Ancelotti
After the game, the coach Davide Ancelotti was the target of fans’ whistles and protests. Marlon includes the pressure of the stands, mainly due to the victorious 2024 that the club had, but wants to avoid comparisons between the teams.
“Any coach who comes here will press, for everything that was done last year. Not only the coach, but also players, those who have arrived, the pressure always exists, but they cannot compare, because they are different players. We are surrendering, but we must convert the performance, our quality, consequently, is not happening,” he said.
