At the invitation of coach Franclim Carvalho, Botafogo idol Jair Ventura was welcomed at 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 ended with Franclim Carvalho presenting the Hurricane with the new Gloriosa 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 Jairzinho comes to visit us, there’s some initial nervousness because of his stature, but it’s an enormous pleasure. Many thanks 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 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 the club’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.
