Part 6/9:
The woes do not end with Internacional. Botafogo is in a precarious position of its own, with players expressing dissatisfaction due to delayed payments for bonuses related to their achievements last season, including winning the Libertadores. Reports confirm that while some payments have been made, a significant amount remains outstanding, and the situation is causing unrest among the squad.
As with Internacional, the issues at Botafogo raise critical questions about the management of finances within the club and whether promises made during contract negotiations are being honored. The directors maintain that their budgeting practices are sound, but the reality on the ground suggests otherwise, with discontent brewing among key players.
