Last Tuesday (5), the leader of the Brasileirão, Botafogo, beat Vasco 3-0 at Nilton Santos, in a classic match valid for the 32nd round. Showing great football, Glorioso stepped onto the pitch and secured three more points to establish himself in the lead.
In the mixed zone, SAF owner John Textor highlighted the performance of the club's talent sector and promised investment by 2025.
“If you look at the way we put together the squad, it's not just about the players we buy, it's also about the athletes we find. Honestly, the scouting department is the best I have ever seen in football. Júnior Santos, from the Japanese second division Igor Jesus, from the United Arab Emirates, on a free transfer, we are very lucky to have them”, said John Textor.
“We want to improve the squad every year. We are already planning to recharge batteries in large quantities for next year,” added Textor, owner of SAF.
In the isolated leadership of the Brasileirão and in the final of the Libertadores, Botafogo had a dream season. The Rio club returns to the field next Saturday (9), against Cuiabá, in the Brazilian Championship, at Nilton Santos, starting at 16:30. Glorioso aims to increase his lead in first place and get closer to the national title.
