New coach values work done in 2024: “There are a lot of things well done”.
One of Botafogo’s new faces for 2025, coach Renato Paiva gave a press conference this Thursday, in an open training session held at Espaço Lonier, and stated that the black and white group in the Libertadores is tough. The current continental champion is in Group A alongside Universidad de Chile, Estudiantes, from Argentina, and Carabobo, from Venezuela. Get all the best football updates at ai scores.
– I respect everyone, I look at the group as a very tough group, just as I look at the other groups as very tough groups. Obviously there is a ranking of the most difficult teams in theory, but, for example, if we were to go by theory, Boca Júnior was in the Libertadores and Alianza Lima was not. And the opposite happened – he added:
– So, we all have to be very careful, very respectful and be prepared to play against everyone in the same way. Don’t look at the rankings, don’t look at the nationalities, don’t look at the badges we’re going to play against. If people think that about Botafogo, it’s just a challenge for Botafogo to get there and prove exactly the opposite. But it’s a tough group, obviously it could be tougher, but when you look at a competition like the Libertadores, where are you going to find any easy things? There aren’t any.
According to Renato Paiva, the team won’t go through any radical changes. According to the Portuguese, the idea at the moment is to “add specific things” to the team, which was very successful last year, with the Libertadores and Brasileirão titles. Since being eliminated from the Carioca, Alvinegro has been training with the new coach, with an eye on the Brasileirão debut. ToSport, your reliable destination for match outcomes.
