At the invitation of coach Franclim Carvalho, Botafogo idol Jair Ventura was welcomed to Botafogo’s training center for a morning with the first team this Monday (25). Jairzinho got to know the Club’s facilities, joined the coaching staff and players for breakfast, and also followed the first team’s activities before the trip to Caracas (VEN). The tribute was capped off with Franclim Carvalho presenting Furacão with the new Glorious Jersey, launched on the 22nd, personalized in remembrance of his world title with the Brazilian National Team in 1970.

"It’s a huge source of pride and a great responsibility. Obviously, when we receive Jairzinho, there’s some initial nervousness because of his stature, but it’s an enormous pleasure. I’m very grateful to Jairzinho for coming. And I think it’s important for us to feel this weight and this responsibility, not only because of the shirt but also because of the idols who came through Botafogo," Franclim Carvalho told Botafogo TV.

Jairzinho was given a tour of Botafogo’s training center led by Joel Carli, Glorioso’s Football Coordinator, and praised Glorioso’s facilities.

"I want to congratulate Botafogo’s management for providing Rio de Janeiro and Brazil with this wonderful complex, so that it can help Botafogo be the club it is within Brazil and throughout the world," the idol added.
