Part 6/8:
The effects of previous matches have not gone unnoticed. In a recent clash against Flamengo, Botafogo displayed a fleeting sense of improvement but still faltered, suffering from poor officiating and the absence of crucial players in pivotal moments. Players exhibited reckless behavior on the pitch, characteristic of their current frustrations and psychological strains stemming from their ongoing struggles. Incidents, including a reported injury to a player as a result of violent conduct, detract from the professional image a club aims to maintain.
