Alex Telles hails Botafogo win, praises Anselmi's intensity | OneFootball

After the 2-0 victory over Bangu, captain Alex Telles, who scored Botafogo’s second goal, celebrated the result and commented on the adaptation process to Martin Anselmi’s coaching style. The full-back praised the coach and also looked ahead to the rest of the season, which includes state league matches and the start of national competitions.

“This understanding with the Mister has been very important. We can’t deny that we have few options to rotate the squad. But those who are coming in are getting the job done. I think we’re playing with a lot of intensity,” said Alex Telles in an interview with Premiere.

Speaking about the upcoming stretch of the season, the Botafogo captain warned about the marathon of matches and highlighted the importance of the squad’s physical recovery.

“Now the marathon begins, with a game every three or four days. The squad is very important for the season. We can recover our recovery. We always have to put Botafogo first, which is the most important thing,” he added.

Alex Telles talks about the administrative situation

Asked about the recent administrative situation of Botafogo’s SAF, Alex Telles stated that the squad can only “control what happens on the pitch.”

“A lot is being said. Sometimes we are caught by surprise by some things. I say we have to shield the locker room. We hope the club can resolve all the issues. What we can control is on the field,” he concluded.

Now, Botafogo turns its attention to the start of the Brazilian Championship. The Glorioso takes the field this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Nilton Santos, for their Brasileirão debut.
