Botafogo kicked off the Brazilian Championship by thrashing Cruzeiro 4-0. Danilo, who scored two goals for the Glorioso, celebrated the result and highlighted the team's partnership.
“The unity of this group motivates us. We’re going to keep up this good momentum and call on the fans to throw another party against Fluminense,” said the midfielder in an interview with Prime Video.
With this result, Botafogo started the Brazilian Championship at the top of the table, thanks to their goal difference. The victory came at a complicated moment for Glorioso’s SAF and saw John Textor present at Nilton Santos.
Despite being the standout player, Danilo continued to praise the Botafogo squad. The midfielder highlighted his partnership with playmaker Montoro and foresees good results for the Glorioso.
“It’s about making this group even greater. We started off well with the coach. Montoro and I understand each other well. Since last year. We’re going to make headlines this year,” he concluded.
Botafogo returns to the field this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Fluminense for the fifth round of the Carioca. In the Brazilian Championship, the Glorioso face Grêmio away next Wednesday at 9:30 p.m.
