+ Performance: the Argentine duo decides and Fernando Miguel performs a miracle
– I have great respect for the opponent. He is well trained, he has great players. His game idea is interesting, we study a lot. It was the first match of three finals that we will face. Today we win. They gave themselves, had spirit and attitude – celebrated Ramón, who praised Marcos Junior’s performance.
– Marcos Jr is an example. He had few opportunities and today was exceptional. I have a lot of confidence in this athlete. In last year’s Brazilian, he was an important piece. It balanced him in the middle, with Richard and Raúl. It is important – he said.
Botafogo and Vasco will meet next Thursday 17 and Wednesday of next week 23 for the fourth phase of the Copa do Brasil.

Ramón also highlighted the importance of winning the first classic in this Brazilian Championship.
– It is very good to win, it is very important to have a winning streak and stay at the top of the table. It is difficult, it is very balanced. All games have their importance, all are disabled. We entered the field like this – he concluded.
See other excerpts from Ramon Menezes interview:
They have great strength on the wings, they are three defenders. The start is 4-3, always with the aim of taking five players in the last third of the field, we knew about this difficulty. Ribamar for a long time deserved the opportunity to meet face to face. He deserves it. Every time it has come into understanding it has been very good. We chose him, he did well, he scored and he helped us. In the first half, he played on the right side and made a variation. I really liked what he presented.
– He, Cano, Castán had a very good understanding from the beginning of the work. Benítez is very intelligent, he has an impressive technical quality. He can read the game on the offensive and defensive side. It helps us a lot, like all athletes. In the league with games on Wednesdays and Sundays, sometimes we won’t have all the athletes. We did not lose to Atlético-GO due to the absence of Benítez. We lost because he was gone and so many other players.
How to score Botafogo in the next games?
– On the other hand, there is a very experienced and intelligent boy, Paulo Autuori. We knew about all these difficulties when we saw Botafogo play. Let’s go to work. We will have two endings. His offensive force in the aerial ball is great, with Babi and Pedro Raúl. This causes problems for any defense. We were very focused. I put Neto because he has a very good height, I put him in the second line. Then I invested with Henrique. This is part of the game, the strategy, the movement of the opponent. Decision making must be very fast. We will recover to be able to play a great game again.
