O Botafogo Football Club foi fundado em 12 de agosto de 1904, por um grupo de jovens estudantes do bairro de mesmo nome, às margens da enseada que se tornaria símbolo do clube. Naquele tempo, o futebol ainda era uma prática restrita a círculos pequenos da elite carioca, e os fundadores — entre eles Flávio Ramos, Emmanuel Sodré e Álvaro Pereira — sonhavam em competir de igual para igual com o Fluminense e o Bangu, os pioneiros do esporte no Rio. O Lance! conta tudo sobre o primeiro título da história do Botafogo.

O início foi modesto, mas cheio de entusiasmo. O clube treinava em campos de terra, sem uniformes padronizados, e improvisava bolas importadas. O espírito dos jovens botafoguenses era de bravura e amizade — traços que se tornariam permanentes na identidade alvinegra. Poucos imaginavam que aquele grupo de estudantes fundaria um dos clubes mais emblemáticos da história do futebol brasileiro.

Já em 1905, o Botafogo ingressou na Liga Metropolitana de Football (LMF), competindo com os principais times do Rio. Os resultados foram animadores, e em 1907 — apenas três anos após a fundação — o clube alcançaria sua primeira grande glória: o Campeonato Carioca, conquistado em uma disputa equilibrada com o Fluminense.

O título de 1907, reconhecido oficialmente pela Federação apenas em 1996, é considerado o primeiro troféu da história do Botafogo. Mais do que uma conquista esportiva, ele representou o nascimento de uma tradição de garra, classe e paixão que atravessaria gerações.

A campanha do primeiro título do Botafogo

O Campeonato Carioca de 1907 contou com seis participantes: Botafogo, Fluminense, Bangu, Rio Cricket, Paysandu e Football and Athletic. O regulamento previa pontos corridos, e o equilíbrio marcou a disputa do início ao fim.

O Botafogo apresentou um futebol consistente, com destaque para Flávio Ramos, que além de fundador, era um dos principais jogadores do elenco. O time alternava técnica e determinação, vencendo partidas importantes contra Bangu e Football and Athletic. Ao final da competição, terminou empatado em pontos com o Fluminense.

Na época, o regulamento da liga não previa critérios de desempate. Assim, os dois clubes foram declarados campeões. O troféu de 1907 acabou sendo considerado “dividido” — mas, com o passar do tempo, a Federação reconheceu oficialmente o título também para o Botafogo, validando a conquista e reforçando seu papel como um dos primeiros campeões do futebol carioca.

O símbolo da alma alvinegra

O título de 1907 tem um valor especial na história do Botafogo. Foi a primeira vez que o clube demonstrou o estilo que o tornaria conhecido: raça, lealdade e futebol técnico. O elenco misturava jovens idealistas e atletas talentosos, e os jogos eram disputados sob o calor da torcida, formada por moradores do bairro e admiradores da elegância alvinegra.

A conquista consolidou o Botafogo como uma força emergente no futebol do Rio. O clube, que começara de forma amadora, tornava-se símbolo de organização e seriedade. O apelido “Glorioso”, que nasceria mais tarde, já encontrava raízes naquela geração pioneira.

O sucesso também fortaleceu o bairro de Botafogo como polo esportivo e cultural da cidade. As cores preto e branco passaram a identificar uma filosofia: a do futebol inteligente, aguerrido e romântico, que seria aperfeiçoado ao longo das décadas com craques como Garrincha, Nilton Santos, Didi e Jairzinho.

O reconhecimento tardio e a justiça histórica

Durante muito tempo, o título de 1907 foi motivo de debate. Como o troféu havia sido declarado dividido, apenas o Fluminense o contabilizava oficialmente. No entanto, após longa pesquisa de historiadores e decisão da Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FERJ), em 1996 o Botafogo teve seu título reconhecido oficialmente.

Essa reavaliação foi mais do que uma correção estatística — foi uma reparação histórica. O clube, que sempre prezou pela tradição e pelo mérito esportivo, passou a ter oficialmente o primeiro troféu de sua trajetória reconhecido.

A confirmação do título reforçou a imagem do Botafogo como um dos pilares da formação do futebol carioca, ao lado de Fluminense, Flamengo e Vasco. E, simbolicamente, reafirmou o que a torcida sempre soube: desde o início, o Glorioso nasceu para vencer.

O legado do título de 1907

A taça dividida de 1907 permanece como símbolo do espírito botafoguense: nada vem fácil, mas tudo é conquistado com dignidade. Foi assim naquele primeiro campeonato, e continuaria sendo ao longo de uma história marcada por superação e brilho.

O título de 1907 abriu caminho para décadas de glórias: campeonatos estaduais, títulos nacionais e internacionais. Mas, acima de tudo, estabeleceu o Botafogo como um clube de alma única — aquele que une tradição, talento e emoção em partes iguais.

Mais de um século depois, aquele primeiro troféu ainda ecoa como o início de tudo. O futebol carioca nascia oficialmente, e o Botafogo, ao lado do Fluminense, era um de seus pais fundadores.

Ex-Spurs boss Pochettino worth every penny after new report

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Opinion series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles…

Daniel Levy may believe he has pulled off a masterstroke if he has included a clause within Mauricio Pochettino’s contract that appears to preclude him from moving to another Premier League club.

The Daily Express reports that the ex-Spurs boss was given a £12.5m pay-off when he left the club.

However, if he wishes to take another job in England before the end of the season, he will have to give the entirety of the money back to Levy.

Of course, he has been linked with a number of jobs since his departure from Spurs.

Manchester United are struggling under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer while Arsenal have sacked Unai Emery. Both clubs have reportedly identified Pochettino as a potential acquisition.

But the clause should matter little.

He’s available and is a manager with an incredible track record. At Spurs, he built a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final. He didn’t win any silverware but he is a progressive, forward-thinking boss.

He could potentially work wonders at United with a squad that is currently leaning heavily on young players, though it remains to be seen if he would be willing to move to a club that have struggled to finish in the top four consistently in recent seasons. They have finished in the Champions League qualification places on one occasion – when they finished second under current Spurs boss Jose Mourinho in 2017/18 – in the last four campaigns.

Arsenal is a prospect that does not bear thinking about for most Spurs supporters but there is an excellent squad there that could do with a magic touch; Tottenham fans will tell you that Pochettino has one of those.

But the £12.5m fee should only be the beginning of any conversation.

The finances behind managerial appointments are rarely made clear but Pochettino was reportedly earning £8.5m-per-year during his time at Spurs.

He would surely want similar were he to join either United or Arsenal and they would likely have to fund the compensatory price that Pochettino would need to pay back too.

If that were the case, they’d be facing up to a £21m bill to appoint the Argentine. Neither Arsenal nor United would bat an eyelid at paying that for a player.

When one really thinks about it, it is small change for two clubs who are looking to return to the elite. If they want to make a genuine statement by appointing Pochettino, they should pay up.

It would be something that would surely leave Levy with mixed emotions, with £12.5m back in his pocket but with the potential prospect of seeing the man he sacked shine at a Premier League rival.

Meanwhile, Spurs fans hailed one man after his excellent display against Bournemouth.

Spurs ace Kane left isolated in Mourinho’s system

This article is part of Football FanCast’s The Chalkboard series, which provides a tactical insight into teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Harry Kane was left stranded at the top of the pitch as Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

On the chalkboard

The England international touched the ball a mere 43 times throughout the 90 minutes and managed just two shots on goal.

One of those was a free-kick from range that flew over the bar, while the other was blocked.

Who is that?! Can you name all of these obscure Spurs signings? Give it a go now…

He did complete two dribbles and win three aerial duels but he didn’t really impact the game at all in the final third.

Kane had a pass completion rate of just 61%, meaning he didn’t really link play all that well, and he also didn’t manage to test David de Gea. Instead, he was the battering ram to which a number of balls were thwacked throughout the game.

That’s about it.

Not helped by the system

This is probably the wrong formation to use Kane in.

Jose Mourinho, the new Spurs manager, has given Dele Alli the freedom to roam and it was Kane’s England team-mate who scored Spurs’ goal at Old Trafford.

Featuring Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura as the two wingers who looked to hug the touchlines before moving infield also left Kane isolated, particularly as neither played well.

Son kept the ball too much, completing eight dribbles but never really offloading it in a useful manner – he did not register a key pass. Lucas, meanwhile, was execrable, completing one dribble and failing to have a shot on goal.

Throughout, Kane – who Transfermarkt value at £135m – was ploughing a lone furrow, constantly looking for a sniff of the ball or a sniff of a chance.

Neither really came and that is not his fault; it is the fault of the system in which he was placed.

Of course, this is only Mourinho’s fourth game as Spurs boss but this is a misstep that he has to right.

Meanwhile, another Spurs man was awful against Man United. 

Newcastle’s move for Granit Xhaka would be a risk but could work out well

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news…

Granit Xhaka could leave Arsenal in January, and according to The Times Newcastle are interested in taking him off their hands.

What’s the word?

Xhaka’s unhappiness at the Gunners is now no secret thanks to his extraordinary outburst in the home match against Crystal Palace a few weeks ago, where his display to the fans was rather unfriendly.

His antics have cost him his captaincy, and he has subsequently missed the two matches since, with a possibility that he could remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

The Times suggest that if that was to happen, he would request a January move – and Newcastle could be his destination, with Steve Bruce thought to be a big admirer of the Switzerland captain.

However, due to his £100,000-a-week salary a permanent departure may be out of the question, but since the Magpies would be able to offer him Premier League football and perhaps a key role in the team, the 27-year-old could be open to a short-term switch, with Euro 2020 not far away.

Worth the risk?

Much of the hostility that exists between Xhaka, who cost £35m im 2016, and the Arsenal faithful has come about due to their belief that the midfielder has underperformed.

That, along with his poor attitude, could be of concern to Newcastle, particularly as they will probably have to spend a lot of money on his wages.

Also, the Magpies are not in urgent need of a midfield addition, with the Longstaff brothers along with Jonjo Shelvey and Isaac Hayden all capable of fulfilling a first-team role.

However, none of them can match Xhaka’s 87% pass accuracy or 61 average passes per game, and in new surroundings away from all the vitriol at the Emirates he could begin to find his best form once more.

After all, he is the skipper of a national team, and will be determined to impress after the recent fall-out, as his place in the European Championships could come under threat.

As a result, he would probably be a useful addition to the Newcastle squad, and if on a short-term basis it could be hugely beneficial to all parties.

Arsenal should forget about signing Thomas Meunier

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news…

Thomas Meunier expects to stay at PSG despite being linked with a move to Arsenal, per Foot Mercato.

What’s the word?

The right-back was linked with a potential move to The Emirates by Calciomercato last month, with Juventus also said to be interested.

His contract is currently set to expire in the summer but the Belgium international believes that the Ligue 1 champions will offer him an extension.

He said: “My ambition is to stay, after we’ll see how it goes and what the club’s will is. They know my wish, it’s been 2 years, even Antero (Henrique, former sporting director) had plans for an extension in the past, but it never came on the table.

“I have been patient until now, I will be a little more. I think at some point it will come.”

Good news

Arsenal don’t really need Meunier.

Hector Bellerin is back to full fitness and Ainsley Maitland-Niles has impressed in the role while the Spaniard has been injured.

Rob Holding and Calum Chambers are also able to play in the role and it feels like a move for Meunier, even in a free transfer, does not make sense.

Add in the fact that he is approaching the age of 30, and one has to believe that the proper strategy is to give Bellerin the opportunity to be the first-choice right-back for the club.

Of course, if he picks up another injury, Arsenal can rethink but right now, they should stick with what they have.

Liverpool fans stunned by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s England snub

One of the Premier League’s most dangerous full-backs, Trent Alexander-Arnold has enjoyed a meteoric rise since making his debut for Liverpool.Last season, the 21-year-old bagged an incredible 16 assists in 40 games across all competitions, and played a key role in the Reds’ Champions League triumph.Despite his tender age, the right-back has become a permanent fixture in the England set-up, and has picked up seven senior caps. After being named in the latest squad by Gareth Southgate, Alexander-Arnold would no doubt have been hoping to play against the Czech Republic on Friday night.However, the Three Lions boss opted for Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier instead, and the side slipped to a shock 2-1 defeat. The former Spurs man hardly covered himself in glory, losing possession 11 times over the course of the game and earning himself a measly 6.4 match rating as per SofaScore.Watch Liverpool Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

After the game, Liverpool fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the decision to leave Alexander-Arnold out.

Many supporters of the Anfield side expressed their shock and dismay, and insisted they couldn’t believe Southgate appeared to favour Trippier.

Some even suggested the England boss should lose his job because of it.

Check out some of the reaction of Liverpool fans below:

The Athletic journalist Greg O’Keeffe delivers encouraging verdict on Marco Silva

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Pundit View series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers…

Journalist Greg O’Keeffe has praised Marco Silva for his determined managerial efforts against West Ham United, claiming the Portuguese arrived at Goodison Park with a different mentality to previous games.

What did he say?

Everton returned to winning ways over the weekend after their impressive 2-0 win over the Hammers. It was indeed the first time Everton looked convincing in the Premier League, having looked far superior to Manuel Pellegrini’s side throughout.

It now means that the Toffees have jumped out of the relegation zone and into 15th on 10 points – the same as Manchester United. O’Keeffe wrote for The Athletic: “Marco Silva arrived at Goodison Park on Saturday morning looking like he meant business.

“He stepped off Everton’s team coach with his head bowed and a steely look in his eyes. He led his team through the players’ entrance and would continue to lead them all afternoon. “

O’Keeffe also touches on how majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri was seen at Goodison Park in what was a rare attendance on Merseyside for him.

Silva picked the perfect time

As Moshiri was watching the game, it seems as if Silva picked the perfect time to show the owner what he can do. Over the international break, it was reported by the Daily Star that the Iranian handed the manager the next three games to save his job.

So, with Moshiri in attendance, it’s fair to say that Silva knocked one of those games down and in convincing fashion as well. Across the pitch, players put in inspiring performances, whilst the boss at the helm was seen to put in a motivational, passionate display from the touchline.

Players who have often struggled surprisingly stepped up for Silva, such as Theo Walcott and Yerry Mina.

The key now for the Everton boss is to build and grow his team. The next two games for 42-year-old are the away trip to Brighton & Hove Albion and the Carabao Cup clash at Goodison Park with Watford. If the former Hornets boss can pick up three points on the south coast and get past his old side in the League Cup, he may well have secured his future on Merseyside, for now at least.

One thing is for certain, regardless of the performance, he must keep up this positive and inspiring attitude that O’Keeffe saw on display.

These characteristics may prove vital in motivating his side.

Man City prospect Tosin Adarabioyo dedicates post to Vincent Kompany

The Manchester-born defender spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, where he was trusted to hold the line for 30 Championship games for the promotion-chasing side. Blackburn Rovers are the latest club to host his talents on a temporary basis.

We’re sensing a potential Kompany replacement somewhere down the line, as it is clear the young prospect aspires to be like his parent club’s skipper.

Real Madrid’s defensive record suggests further reinforcements are needed

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Opinion series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles…

Real Madrid have once again spent big money in the transfer window with nearly £300m thrown at a number of new signings. But despite some exciting names joining the squad, their issues at the back remain unsolved.

On the chalkboard

By this point and after only one pre-season tour and three games played in the new 2019/20 La Liga season, it’s becoming pretty obvious: Real Madrid are leaking goals. During the summer when they were gearing up for the new campaign, Los Blancos played five games and conceded an incredible 16 goals, almost equalling their worst-ever tally from 1980 when they let 17 strikes rattle their net.

When we crunch the numbers a bit more we get a rather worrying figure of 3.2 goals conceded per game, which is far too many for a club of Real Madrid’s pedigree and stature, not to mention their aspirations.

And the problems were not fixed at the beginning of 2019/20 either. In the first three games they played, the Galacticos conceded four goals, which is only two fewer than they’ve scored in the process. Clearly, there’s a glaring flaw in that squad: their defence.

Out with the old, in with the new

If Zinedine Zidane was looking for culprits for this crime, which he should be doing, he wouldn’t have to look much further than his own backline. All four of Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Dani Carvajal have seen some better days. Ferland Mendy’s performance against Villarreal immediately showed how big of a difference it makes to have a good defender in the squad, but it was actually the centre-backs that have been questioned as of late.

Both Varane and Ramos have averaged only 1.3 tackles per game in La Liga so far this season and the Frenchman has only one interception per game while the Spaniard sits at 1.3. It’s safe to say that they haven’t really set the world alight with their performances and Zidane should be looking to bring more competition into the ranks.

Eder Militao is the only new centre-back who joined the squad but he’s yet to make his official debut in the competition, which might suggest Zidane is sticking with more familiar faces for now. And looking at the stats and Madrid’s leakiness in the back, that might not be the best of ideas.

Real have played a total of 21 games since Zidane’s return and in that period they’ve won eight, drawn six and lost seven games. Their goal difference is rather bad as well: 36 scored and 35 conceded with just five clean sheets.

Something has to change fast and it would be wise of Zidane to forget all about Neymar, who seems to be back on the table, and look for some new defenders instead.

Newcastle fans react to Andy Carroll fitness update

[ad_pod ]

According to The Daily Mail, Andy Carroll will be unavailable for Newcastle United’s Premier League clash against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

The powerful forward is yet to play this season following an ankle operation.

It had been thought that the summer arrival would be fit enough to play a part against his former club after the international break.

However, according to The Daily Mail, Carroll’s return to action is ‘not imminent’.

The report insists that there has been ‘no setback’ when it comes to the 30-year-old, but his lack of first-team training has pushed his return date back.

It remains to be seen whether the Englishman can return to fitness and contribute for Steve Bruce’s side, who showed a lot of faith following his West Ham United release.
