Barboza rues Botafogo defeat and blames wet pitch: "We just couldn't play" | OneFootball

This Saturday, for the 30th round of the Brasileirão, Botafogo lost to Internacional, at Beira-Rio, by 2 to 0. The defender Alexander Barboza regretted the result and highlighted that the alvinegros were hampered by the heavy rain in the first part of the game.

"In the first half, it was very difficult to play. We worked a game, but unfortunately due to the pitch, due to the rain, we couldn't play. They also scored very early. This is the Serie A of the Brasileirão. In the second half, we started far and they quickly scored the goal. Then we tried a lot of crosses. We didn't get anything. Upset because losing a game is always bad," he said.
