O Fluminense released on Sunday the behind-the-scenes video of the 1-1 draw with Flamengo at Maracanã, for the first game of the Carioca 2021 Championship final. And one of the images shown by the club was the mark of Rodrigo Caio’s boot locks on Cazares’ thigh , in a bid that generated Fred’s revolt on social networks. See below:

The move in question happened in the 44th minute of the second half. Referee Alexandre Vargas Tavares de Jesus fouled on the field and only applied a yellow card to Rodrigo Caio. The video referee of the match was Carlos Eduardo Nunes Braga.

Backstage, Fluminense also showed the atmosphere in the locker room after the game and a part of Roger Machado’s speech. The coach congratulated the players, encouraged them to play fearlessly against the rival’s favoritism, showed confidence in the title and promised:

– We are not going to do the first two halves the way we did twice. What we lacked was the tranquility to put the ball on the ground. Our team has a characteristic of not surrendering, of being tough, as is the mystique of the club, but we have to put the ball on the ground and play. Football overcomes the difficulties of the game, it is playing. Sometimes we gave up a little bit of the game to fight for the match, and it’s playing.

– Congratulations to those who started and those who entered, this is proof that we are with a strong group. Whoever enters, enters well and helps us to overcome the adversities of the game. Everyone left exhausted, everyone gave what they could on the field. There’s still something left for next week.

The second and final game of the decision against Flamengo will be next Saturday, at 9:05 pm (Brasília time), in Maracanã. Before that, however, Roger Machado’s team receives Junior Barranquilla, from Colombia, this Tuesday, at 21.30 (from Brasília), also at Maracanã, giving Tricolor a place in the Libertadores round of 16 – a draw is enough.
