Under heavy pressure after the dismissal of Tiago Nunes and a poor start to the season, the Botafogo decided to change things up and protect the squad before the game with Aurora (BOL), in the third phase of the Libertadores. The executive director of football André Mazzuco led the process, with the support of the psychologist Paulo Ribeiroaccording to the blog of Diogo Dantas, from “O Globo”.
Mazzuco’s intention was to create a lighter and happier environment to protect the squad, trying to alleviate the demands. One of the actions was to present a plaque to Eduardo for his bicycle goal in the 4-2 defeat to Vasco, which generated criticism from fans and the press, but was positively evaluated by the group.
The director also appeared when giving a press conference after the game with Audax and calling for responsibility, asking for criticism to be made against him, to protect the players.
With Fabio Matias in charge, Botafogo beat Aurora 6-0 last Wednesday and secured a place in the third phase of the Libertadores.
