After derby defeat, Anselmi urges Botafogo board for action | OneFootball

After the 1-0 defeat to Fluminense, coach Martin Anselmi vented about Botafogo’s current situation and made an appeal to the club’s board.

“We work, we work a lot. My players, the staff… Now it’s about doing on the field what we worked on, what we trained. To comment, we need to watch the game again. Right now, I don’t know if my feelings are true considering what is happening or what happened on the field,” said the coach.

Despite playing with one more player in the final stretch of the match, Botafogo was unable to find an equalizer at Maracanã. With the result, Botafogo dropped to 11th place, with three points.

Appeal to the board

Anselmi also took the opportunity during the press conference to talk about Botafogo’s turbulent moment. The coach made an appeal to the board, asking that no more players be sold.

“Botafogo cannot lose any more players, it’s simple. You are seeing everything that’s happening. I’m not the owner of the club, I don’t make those decisions… But, in my view, Botafogo cannot sell anyone else,” he added.
