Barboza hails Botafogo win and leaps to Anselmi’s defence | OneFootball

Botafogo ended their losing streak in the Brazilian Championship by defeating Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday, away from home. The winning goal for the team from Rio was scored by defender Alexander Barboza, who emphasized the importance of the positive result.

“We had been working hard to win and we weren’t managing to do so. Today, we had the mission to win this game, because this team works to win. Everyone on the coaching staff deserved this victory. Now we’ll have a few days to work and think about the next match,” he said.

Barboza also came to the defense of coach Martín Anselmi, who was under pressure after a series of four consecutive defeats in the Brasileirão. 

“Both he and his staff work extremely hard. He didn’t deserve this. We were the ones losing the games. We needed to support them as well. He’s not only a good coach on the field, but also a really great guy off it. We weren’t managing to do what he wanted,” he stated.

Next match

Botafogo will be back on the field next Sunday. The Alvinegros will face Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada, in a match postponed from the fifth round of the Brasileirão.
