See Artur Jorge's strategy for training before taking time off

Botafogo coach Artur Jorge decided to use a different method to what is used by most Brazilian clubs and instead of doing it the traditional way, giving athletes time off right after the conclusion of the last round of the Brazilian Championship last weekend, He gave the squad two days of training at the beginning of the FIFA Data and with the second day completed, he released the team's rest period.

Details

The athletes from Botafogo were carrying out their activities normally until this Tuesday (08), and will rest until Saturday (12), returning to their activities until the next appointment, which will be next Friday (18), against Criciúma at Maracanã, at 8pm for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Botafogo's last match was against Athletico-PR last Saturday (05), at the Ligga Arena, Alvinegro won by a score of 1-0, then continued training at the same intensity, working on the tactical scheme with set pieces and activities on a reduced field after warming up.

The strategy used behind this was to ensure that the athletes did not sit still after so long in active mode, especially having commitments for the Libertadores, with seven games in just one month.

Casualties due to summons

At the moment, Botafogo has seven call-ups, in addition to Almada, Gatito, Savarino and Bastos, who are in their respective foreign teams, Yarlen was called up by the Brazilian under-20 team, while Alex Telles, Igor Jesus and Luiz Henrique are in the main selection.

With this, base athletes were activated so that the work could be carried out.

Botafoguense agenda

After facing Criciúma in Series A of the Brazilian Championship, Botafogo will be committed to the first game of the Libertadores semi-finals against Peñarol on Wednesday (23), at 9:30 pm, again at Engenhão.
