Champions’ visit | OneFootball

At the invitation of coach Franclim Carvalho, Botafogo idol Jair Ventura was welcomed to the club’s training center for a morning with the first team this Monday (25). Jairzinho toured the Club’s facilities, had breakfast with the coaching staff and players, and also watched the professional squad’s activities before the trip to Caracas (VEN). The tribute concluded with Franclim Carvalho presenting the Hurricane with the new Glorious Jersey, launched on the 22nd, customized 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. 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 have come through Botafogo," Franclim Carvalho told Botafogo TV.

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

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