Author of the equalizing goal, Adryelson congratulates the team for seeking a result

One of the highlights of Botafogo’s spectacular campaign in the Brasileirão, Adryelson was rewarded with the 2-2 tie against Santos, this Sunday, at Vila Belmiro. The defender, who scored for the first time in the competition, valued winning the point away from home, mainly due to the fact that Glorioso showed power of reaction on a day of little technical brilliance.

“Thank God for the match we played, unfortunately we left with the result behind, but we managed to draw. This point away from home is very important, it is important to always be adding to the table. We are to be congratulated for having sought the result, now it is to continue”, evaluated Adryelson, on the field exit.

Now, Botafogo has 11 points of advantage over Grêmio, who beat Atlético-MG in the round. By the way, it is a brand that remains relevant and keeps, more and more, the dream of the Brasileirão title very much alive.

Adryelson is out of the next game

The character of the match, however, is out of the duel with Coritiba, next Sunday, at Nilton Santos. After all, Adryelson received the third yellow card and is automatically suspended. Philipe Sampaio, who this afternoon replaced Cuesta, should remain in the team, therefore.

Target of some proposals, Adryelson did not want to leave and Botafogo also rejected them. Clubs in Portugal, France and Türkiye want him. By the way, Besiktas even offered 4 million euros (about R$ 22 million, at current prices). There is an expectation that the player will be summoned to the Brazilian National Team at the beginning of the Qualifiers. Even more so now that the interim coach is Fernando Diniz, who works in Rio.
