The signings aim to reduce the problems in the sector and the average number of goals conceded. Botafogo has struggled with defensive issues, conceding 40 goals in the Brasileirão. The club has also had to deal with instability in goal, with five different goalkeepers used so far this season.

Lucas Monzón, who has already played as a starter, was signed in the transfer window and impressed in his debut against Palmeiras, helping the team to a 0-0 draw. He is expected to maintain his place in the starting lineup for the upcoming match against Bragantino.
