😨 Vitória president calls team small before correcting himself

😨 Vitória president calls team small before correcting himself Fábio Mota was one of the central figures on a busy Tuesday (10) at Vitória. The president of the Bahia-based club attended the unveiling of coach Rafael Lacerda, formerly of Chapecoense , and spoke about a range of topics. His comments about influencers who were supposedly "rooting against" the Lions stood out. He mentioned that Vitória had lost a significant portion of its monthly revenue because of the ban on betting companies in Brazil. And he ended up calling the Lions a "small club" before correcting himself. " I know there are those opportunists, those doomsayers, who are actually rooting for Vitória to get relegated. That's the plain truth. Instead of helping, rallying the fans, showing the reality of the club and all the financial difficulties we're facing after losing the betting money. You know that's a lot for a small club. With all the difficulties (...) of a small budget, for a club with a small budget. I mean... uh... when you have a small budget and lose 27% of it , you make the club's financial situation more difficult. But today Vitória can proudly say it's one of the few clubs in Brazil that owes nothing in wages, image rights payments or bonuses ." Vitória currently sit 15th in the Brasileirão with 38 points. They have picked up just two of the last 15 points available. Rafael Lacerda will make his debut in charge of the Lions on the 19th, against Red Bull Bragantino at the Barradão. They will then face Internacional (A), Santos (H) and Vasco (A).  Photo: Victor Ferreira/Vitória  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
