Analysis: Botafogo has the challenge of calming its nerves and knowing how to face a decisive game

The challenge of moderating anger involves Botafogo after the recent stumble in the Guanabara Cup. After a brilliant start to the tournament, Alvinegro suffered a panic attack during the most difficult tests against their Serie A rivals. In the defeats between Vasco, 2-0, and Flamengo, 1-0, teammate Luís Castro had five players sent off. Furthermore, athletes from Botafogo saw their chances of domination in prestigious games diminished due to the rush in decisive games and indecisive moments. In both sports, hesitation at the start of the game was very costly. Against Cruz-Maltinos, Adryelson's expulsion opened space in the Botafogo defensive sector and allowed the opponents to get involved until the dispute was decided. The toughness of full-back Rafael also had an impact on the following game. When Daniel Borges received the play on the right, he advanced and opened up great possession of the ball, with Matheus Gonçalves flying into the area. Joel Carli, reserve in defense, even tried to save, but did not block the yellow-black winning goal. The loss of players was symptomatic of Botafogo's defeat. Against Vasco, the team tried to make plays and threaten Hall's goal. On Sunday (25), Alvinegro went through a similar situation. As soon as the ball went out, Luís Castro's team met and exchanged. However, it was less painful and his chances came in individual games.  Tied together, the team bet on kicks and plays on the flanks, but it was only with the entry of Carlos Alberto that they started. He even found the net in a move that was canceled by VAR. The expulsions of Carli, Tiquinho and Marçal did not raise criticism from the referees. Botafogo certainly has a lot of work to do to get there this year. The outrage of classics and weak moments prove to be an important concept for the team to discover how to be strong in decisive games. - It is not possible to complete two games with two players learning. We give everything on the pitch, but it has to be away from home to get points and victories, and not lose players - admitted coach Luís Castro.  Follow Lance! on Google News Most read 1 Off-field attitude of Vini Jr. and Mbappé for Real Madrid's attraction on the web 2 Lance!
