Last season, Botafogo was out of the final phase of Carioquinha.
This after the fiasco occurred in the 2023 Brazilian Championship, when he had the cup in his hands, opened 13 points difference over the runner-up and ended six points behind champion Palmeiras, fifth, with only pre-Liberitors.
From then on, they know the rare reader and the rare reader what happened: Alvinegro carioca not only won Libertadores, but also the Brasileirão, feat for a few.
The story is repeated early this year of 2025.
The glorious was out of the Rio Cup and let the South American recopa without offering resistance to racing, there and here, 2-0 and 0 to 2.
The Bochirroto John Textor marches to demoralization.
He agreed to make an agreement with the Supreme Court (STJD) and pay one million reais to escape a harsh suspension for making light accusations against the CBF arbitration. Arbitration that is too bad, but not necessarily dishonest – for less until it is proved.
If you do not assemble another competitive team, Textor will have difficulty going to the streets of the Marvelous City, and hope is that he planns to repeat the 2024 strategy.
Only now has he hired a coach, the Portuguese Renato Paiva, and the fan, even understanding the recent achievements, begins to wonder if it was all summer dream.
The two main players of the victorious campaign, Luiz Henrique, bad head and healthy of the feet, and Thiago Almada, left, the refined Argentine to Lyon, also by textor.
Tiquinho Soares was another who came out and starts doing well at Santos, just like a wave of champions left the club.
Is it the SAF of the glorious so naughty that it was content with the recent deeds and, satisfied, abandoned the fans of the Club of General Severiano?
Will you know the US entrepreneur that Lyon and, much less, Crystal Palace, other clubs in which he invests, have no history to tie Botafogo’s showers?
The French club, by the way, only appeared in the photo in this century, and because Juninho Pernambuco led him in the extraordinary period of seven years between 2001 and 2008, when he was heptacous champion French.
But if the subject is seven, Botafogo had Mané Garrincha, Jairzinho, Maurício, Túlio and Luiz Henrique with the 7 back and is an indelible part of the five -time Brazilian championship, with geniuses of the strain of Nilton Santos and Didi, as well as the aforementioned Garrincha and Jairzinho, not to mention Zagallo, Amarildo, Paulo Cézar Cashew.
Botafoguense demands respect and does not want to limit their gratitude to a comet, as it happened in 1989, when it left the 21 -year line thanks to its President Emil Pinheiro, then one of the largest bicheiros in Rio de Janeiro.
Textor has ending credit, especially after the demoralizing agreement with the STJD, obliged to cynically the tail between the legs.
You can improve your image if you offer help to Igor Melo, the cowardly Botafoguense influencer shot by the still loose retired police officer Carlos Alberto de Jesus, because being black in Brazil is an invitation to take shooting.
It will be a beautiful gesture.
