Chris Ramos plays down Botafogo rivalry, praises Arthur Cabral: “Fantastic striker” | OneFootball

Botafogo officially presented Spanish striker Chris Ramos this Monday. The new number nine of the Carioca Alvinegro avoided commenting on the competition in the attack and praised Arthur Cabral, the starter in the position.

In his debut against Juventude, the striker scored his first two goals for Botafogo, one of which came after an assist from Arthur Cabral.

“That’s not really my concern (the attacking duo with Arthur Cabral) or how we might play together. But for me, it’s an honor to be surrounded by such good strikers as this team has. Arthur is a fantastic striker and a great player. We’ll be able to understand each other very well, just as with any other striker on the team,” said the player.

The number nine also highlighted the importance of coach Davide Ancelotti in his arrival at the club.

“Davide has been one of the people who believed in me. I am totally grateful. And well, since my first day, I spoke with him and with the assistant coach to see what they were looking for, what they wanted from me so I could adapt well to the style of play and to Brazilian football,” he said.

Against Juventude, Chris Ramos scored two goals with his right foot. However, the 1.93m tall Spaniard revealed that his main characteristic is his aerial game.

“My (main) quality is my aerial game, I’m a very tall, fast, and powerful player. Because of my height, the aerial game is one of my strengths. I just hope that with hard work and the help of my teammates, I can do my best to help the team,” he pointed out.

Chris Ramos hopes to be back in action for Botafogo this Tuesday, against Vasco, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The match at São Januário is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
