Part 2/7:
The incident garnered immediate attention when player Barbosa remarked on the quality of the aircraft, describing it as “weak.” This sparked a conversation on social media, where fans expressed disbelief at Botafogo’s choice of travel arrangements. Initially, there was an assumption that the team would fly on a luxurious private jet, akin to those used by elite sports teams such as the New England Patriots.
Yet, when images circulated showing players boarding, it became clear that expectations were not met. Instead of plush reclining seats and ample space, players found themselves in a standard aircraft setup devoid of comfort, leading to questions regarding the planning—or lack thereof—by the Botafogo administration.
