Influential leader in Botafogo and member of the club’s Football Management Committee, Carlos Augusto Montenegro gave his opinion on the recent changes in the technical command of the professional team and considered that there was an error when shooting Eduardo Barroca just after the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship last year. For him, pressure from fans contributed to the change.
– Barroca did well last year, we were in the qualifying zone for the South American, a series of bad results began, we stopped qualifying and there was pressure. The crowd helps attract players, in the associated fan, etc., but sometimes he exaggerates a little, sometimes he swears, sometimes he applauds. Perhaps our biggest mistake was not changing (Alberto) Valentim (this year), it was having eliminated Barroca. Maybe we should stay with him until the end of the championship. There was a lot of pressure and it ended up coming out. They say that Botafogo fans are a little impatient, but I’m also a fan – Montenegro told Canal TF, this Friday.
Shortly after the fall of Barroca, Botafogo brought Alberto Valentine, coach who had been the Rio champion for the club the previous year. However, Glorioso fell from 12th to 15th place at Brasileirão, being left out of international competitions. Valentine turned one year, Carioca started, but was fired in February, when he arrived Paulo Autuori.
– Valentine is a great professional, he is starting his career, very correct, very polite, sometimes a little stubborn, which unfortunately did not work. We brought Valentine back because he did well, champion in 2018. Many managers would not bring him back, because shortly after the championship he abruptly went to Egypt. The horrible year ended, we did not fall, but we lost the South American. But hey, the year started, he had time to train, and honestly the team did not do well, some overwhelming results, the team was poorly published, it seemed that he was poorly trained, very dispersed, and what ended up knocking him down were the subsequent explanations. of the games It gave the impression that the team was fine and what we saw on the field was something completely different. He took 3 to 0 in the first half of Fluminense, almost taking a tremendous thread. It wasn’t great, ”said Montenegro.
Praise be to Jair Ventura in Botafogo
Montenegro also spoke about another recent coach, Jair Ventura, who led Botafogo to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América in 2017. The manager again summoned the crowd, who was scolded by the coach due to unfortunate statements made to the press, but praised the star’s son of Jairzinho football.
– Today there is part of the crowd that does not like Jair Ventura. I like them, I like them all. In addition to being an excellent coach, I listened to some lectures from him and he is impressive, he is captivating, He is very good, and is the son of our beloved Jair. But fans do not like it, because he went to talk about Everest, he left wanting to win much more in Santos … His name always comes back when someone leaves, but sometimes he gets branded – said Montenegro.
