Tite evaluates Botafogo squad during FIFA international break

Botafogo manager Tite is utilizing the FIFA international break to evaluate the squad and implement tactical adjustments. The pause in the competitive calendar allows the coach to observe youth players from the academy, such as attacker Kauan Toledo, and assess players looking to regain their positions, including Kadir and Kadu.

Additionally, Tite is testing positional changes, specifically considering moving midfielder Cristian Medina to the left side to better utilize his skills. The training period is also being used for physical conditioning for players like Matheus Martins and Tiquinho Soares. The squad is currently navigating several absences due to international duty, including Danilo with the Brazilian national team and Ferraresi with the Venezuelan national team.
