Since the 1-0 loss to Cuiabá last Tuesday, Botafogo has changed strategy to try to reach the rival goal. He put on fewer socks and more fast attackers on the field. That’s how it was in the 2-2 tie with Ceará, on Saturday, and that’s how it will be on Tuesday, at 7:00 p.m. (from Brasilia), when the team faces the rival from Mato Grosso.
In the weekend’s game, the first since the departure of former coach Bruno Lazaroni, Bota changed the entire offensive sector. Rhuan and Pedro Raúl and Bruno Nazário came out, returning to the middle, and Lecaros, Warley and Matheus Babi entered. The lineup would be repeated tonight, were it not for the Peruvian injury. Without him, the chosen one must be Kelvin.

The different reading of the technical committee gave rise to practically forgotten names. Like Warley, who will play the second consecutive game as a starter.
– If I say that I was surprised by the line-up from the beginning, I would be lying. I’ve been working hard to play and came in prepared. There are no rhythm games. Of course yes, but a footballer must always be ready to play. I think I did well and participated in the attack plays. I had a good partnership with Babi from the beginning. A quick attack. It has everything to solve – he said.
So far, the forward has only started two games. In the rest, he entered the final minutes and presented little. So much so that it adds up to less than 200 minutes in the season. Now, the opportunity has come not only for him, but also for Lecaros, Kelvin and newcomer Iván Angulo.
The new options are part of the black and white attempt to get out of the crisis this season. Close to the relegation zone in Brasileirão, the club is also fighting for permanence in the Copa do Brasil. In the sporting and financial aspect, since the classification is worth more than R $ 3 million. In addition to refreshing the spirits after the protests of the crowd.
– I understand the fan, he is passionate. I came to Botafogo and I learned to like the club. For the history, the club and the fans. What I don’t think you can do is have violence. As long as, when protesting, there is no violence, we understand. That is why we, the players, will take the field with greater attention and triple responsibility tomorrow – Warley concluded.
