He is the leader of the Brasileirão, the first time in the Libertadores semi-final (in 50 years) and with the entire squad… Flamengo had some injuries. Botafogo will be more difficult”, said Diego Aguirre, in an interview with ‘Carve Deportiva’ radio.
Aguirre highlighted that Flamengosuffered from the absence of important players in the match against Peñarol, such as Pedro, Everton Cebolinha, Viña, Michael and Luiz Araújo.

Brazilian football is one of the best in the world and Botafogo has athletes in the national team. Alex (Telles) didn't play, but he was there. Thiago Almada went to the Argentine national team, Savarino to Venezuela… This gives the magnitude of the rival. They have players worth 20 million dollars, this helps to give a dimension of the rivals we will face”, concluded the Peñarol commander.
