One of the reinforcements of the Fluminense, Felipe Melo downplayed the fact that the board was going after experienced names in the market, like himself. The steering wheel remembered that the palm trees, from where he just left, he was two-time champion of liberators with several players of advanced age, like him and Willian Bigode, another tricolor reinforcement.
— Just like Palmeiras just became two-time champion of the Libertadores. There was 40-year-old Jailson, there was Felipe Melo, there was Willian Bigode… Why suddenly can’t it work out at Fluminense? They are fallacies, people who speak without thinking, but who have the power of the microphone. When I give my opinion, it can be controversial, people play for the crowd without thinking about what they say. It’s not such a husky team, it has a lot of young people, but this mix of experience with youth can and does work. Did it work at Palmeiras and why can’t it work at Fluminense? – he asked.
So far, Fluminense has officially announced only 38-year-old Felipe Melo. Although, Mario Bittencourt has already informed that Willian, 35, is expected on Tuesday to undergo medical tests and sign a two-year contract.
