At a press conference on Wednesday, Carlos Augusto Montenegro, a member of the Botafogo football committee, addressed the issue of the training center. The former president of the club explained that the Moreira Salles brothers can invest more than R $ 50 million in CT. However, he says there are political details.
– They (Hermanos Moreira Salles) will put another R $ 50 million to have the best TC in Latin America, with six fields, they will keep everything for five years, there we will only put the professionals. Everything for maintenance will be paid. I worry that at least once in our life we will have something decent, not a Caio Martins falling apart, the house of Doña Teresinha that we cannot move.
– Only the current representatives would not like to do that now, and the brothers want to wait for the next president. Because if the next president is one of the people who didn’t give them satisfaction, I don’t think they will. I don’t think they know the three candidates personally, but there are people who have not given them satisfaction and who are attached to one candidate.

Montenegro says the brothers are discouraged after being “very mistreated and humiliated” at the club.
– Botafogo’s relationship with the brothers in the last six years was very bad, not everything agreed was done. They have a great debt. They had several combinations on the debt, one of which was to pay R $ 50 thousand to each of the two brothers per month and a percentage of each player sold. They paid some fees and never paid again. They don’t have to, but it was the deal. Some players were sold and not received. They had emails that weren’t even answered.
“The brothers were people to be pampered at all times. Even so, they entered to do TC, they were trying to reach S / A. Very badly treated. They also have a limit. I admire them a lot, but when you become humiliated without having a satisfaction, that seems horrible, absurd “

– Today (Moreira Salles) have no faith in anything. They bought several terraces, they spent R $ 25 million, including approvals, because they wanted everything right, they made a contract linked to the part that each would contribute. Botafogo paid part, but did not pay more. They are discouraged. They could legally enter and take the ground, but they are giving one last chance. I wanted it to be the penultimate.
– Botafogo’s agreement was to pay for half of the works in the CT, but there is no money even to pay the water bill. The land was donated, but it would become theirs in this new proposal, there would be a return. His idea is to build a base, invest money, build a first world TC, and deliver it to Botafogo to use without spending a penny on maintenance for five years. My response is to thank you on my knees for this proposal. But there are people who think that it is better to keep the land without works, but even that we do not have. They can ask for the land back.
– Our headquarters was 25 years old with a thicket in front of General Severiano. Marshal Hermes has only bushes, Caio Martins crumbles. Why can’t we have a neat CT scan?
“I was one of the R $ 54 million. I will put money as a shareholder if the project comes out, but I will not put more money in Botafogo. It is that business of quitting smoking, you have to quit, because smoke bothers you.
