Unbeaten in his start as a Botafogo manager, Bruno Lazaroni led the team in his first away win at this Brazilian Championship. The 2 to 1 of Sport in Ilha do Retiro took Bota out of the relegation zone. The coach recognized the importance of the result, but he will not have time to celebrate and is already focusing on the sequence.
– Importance to show the players the skill they have. They are largely responsible for this. Reward the work that has been done since the beginning of the year. Thanks to them and the help of all departments, we achieved an important victory, but we are not satisfied. Starting tomorrow, we are focused on Grêmio to continue with the good work and dedication they are giving in the field.

Other statements by Lazaroni
– We had a good first half. Managing to build from Cavalieri, creating good opportunities. We had more corners, more possession, more submissions. Due to the expulsion we had to withdraw more than we wanted. Even in this difficulty, they managed to keep the result.
– The strategy ended up being to go back a little more, get closer to our area and try to reduce the crossings, avoid the crossings. His goal came from that play. Any player who loses is missed. I always speak so that athletes have a very professional attitude to have all athletes available, any type of pain seek DM. Any athlete who is left out is a great loss to us.
– The atmosphere in the dressing room has always been very good. We came from good performances, at different times we were not being so efficient. In the last two games we had an interesting volume and we were efficient in the opportunities. It is all due to the athletes, to the work of all the departments involved.
– Honda is a very professional player, he is available to help the team, as well as Kalou and the rest of the players. Its use (more advanced) was also due to the absence of Bruno Nazário, who by characteristic was the player who played this role.
