Welcome To Rio de Janeiro - Welcome To Botafogo !

Leaving Bulgaria was a tough task but also i was curious what can i learn more about football in Brazil (The football nation).So i left Ludogorets Razgrad left the Champions League left Bulgaria and started a new life.First thing i saw and made me go crazy(in a good way) was the city ...Rio de Janeiro!

Won't talk about the city but one thing was for sure - the adaptation was going to take sooooo loooong ! But on the way to the Botafogo base i was thinking how big football country for real Brazil is.

Little Info About The Club !

Now with my arrival at the club the first things i saw were that the club is a club that wants to win and has everything to do it.The only things that i was going to look for or trying to improve were the team to play attacking expressive football.A game that every Brazil fan would like to watch..cuz we are in Brazil now not in Bulgaria !

As i said in the beginning i was here to learn (atleast the first season that was promised from the chairman) so i started learning and i was learning fast.Brazil teams are playing a lot of matches in one season...they have the normal Brazil First League and then they have something like warm-up league in States where we reached the final but lost to Vasco Da Gama but since i now know how things works in Brazil we will be ready for the next season and now our focus is purely in the League and in Copa Sudamericana ( or the european EUROPA LEAGUE) where Botafogo (We as a team ) have place in the tournament for this season.A long season is ahead of us so i hope you gonna enjoy it to the fullest guys !

End of Part 1 !
