They lost Luis Castro (who managed them in the first half of the season) to Al Nassr, Bruno Lage came in and they started to implode afterwards, he has been sacked already, but the matches they lost with him were the most crucial ones.
This is the problem with Portuguese managers, they use Brazil as a stepping stone. Of course Brazil have a good championship, is the same language (Portuguese) and they pay good money compared to most teams in Portugal outside the big 4 (Porto, Braga, Sporting and Benfica). Any Brazil team need to put a huge release clause because of this.
It’s incredible how Botafogo fucked up the title. They could very well end up in 6. place.
They had the best 1st half of the league in history and are now having the second worst 2nd half only ahead of the already relegated America MG.
Goias also. 47 points in the first half and now 14 points from 15 😬
How did botafogo actual fuck the tittle? Werent’ they like 12+ ahead at some point? Unreal bottlejob
