Andre Mazzocco, director of Botafogo Club, considered that Bruno Lage’s acquisition of his place after the defeat against Palmeiras (1-2), on Sunday, was nothing more than a “revolution”… and a problem for the Portuguese. “It took us by surprise. When we talked to him afterward, he didn’t know how to express himself. It was anger on his part. He understands the responsibility he has, as do we. For him, it’s also difficult to get into a successful environment. We knew that there would be ups and downs, defeat, in short, it was going to happen,” the director began his speech to Globoesporte.

Mazzocco believes that the Portuguese coach intended with these words to protect the rest of the working team. “He is a very protective person. (…) He does not want this criticism to reach other players, because this is not fair to them,” he concluded by saying: “He is a foreign coach who has to adapt, just “in Brazil, this is where it happens.” It has this greatest pressure. But everything is calm, and his revolution was important. He is a “really good man” and very willing to help, as he has already helped. He is our leader.
Recall that after this defeat to Fogão, the current leader of the Brazilian, Bruno Lage appeared at the press conference and made a short statement: “Regarding this thing of just looking at my career in Botafogo, I think it is a very big pressure” on the players. And I can’t admit it. There is only one way to free them from this pressure. That’s why I’m here before you. “I didn’t talk to anyone, I thought a lot and at this moment I put my place at the director’s disposal, available to the president.”
