Flamengo 1 x 1 Fluminense | Best moments | 34th round of Brasileirão 2023
– Tomorrow (Sunday), if you cross the line, that’s fine. I’m going to celebrate a lot. We did it and the team is to be congratulated. Historically, after teams win the Libertadores, the opposite happens to what is happening with the Fluminense. To enter seriously. I congratulate the players. We faced two tough opponents. Internacional, which is very well trained, and Flamengo, a financial powerhouse on the continent.
The celebration between team and fans is the day after the 1-1 draw against Flamengo, in the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. With a bad first half and a good second half, the coach considered that the result was in line with what the teams showed at Maracanã.
– Let’s, in fact, respect the championship. There was a lot at stake. He’s a great rival. We prepared ourselves in the best way possible. In the second half, we played a great game. It ended up being fair because of what Flamengo did in the first half and the Fluminense not second.

– The draw result was fair for what the Fluminense presented. It wasn’t a game that I fully enjoyed because in the first half Flamengo were better than us. I didn’t like the first part. We were supposed to play better in the first half and we didn’t. But I really liked the attitude in the second half.
With the victory of Conmebol Libertadores, the Fluminense Little by little he begins to plan for the year 2024. While he doesn’t make any signings, he already knows that some players must leave, like midfielder André. Asked about the relevance of the midfielder in the future tricolor, the coach made a point of highlighting the high level of the number 7.
– It’s not just today. André is the player most capable of shining in Europe. He will shine a lot and when he returns it will be to end his career. I’m going to miss him a lot. It was vitally important. We had a connection from the first moment. In 98% of the games he played with me, he performed at a very high level. He is an extremely rare player we have in Brazilian football. We knew how to use as much as he gave, I believe it is almost impossible for him to stay. We hope he goes to the best destination (in Europe) and he will have a brilliant career.

Yony González’s first goal
– I was very happy that Yony González scored the goal. I don’t think it was anything very important. He even tried to continue in the match. It was in the hamstring muscle. I hope it’s something light and he can recover quickly.
Praise from Arias, the psychologist and nutritionist at Fluminense
– It was a work of many hands. The staff of Fluminense is extremely competent. Led by Paulo Angioni. The work of Emily, Renata, the medical department… The great merit of Fluminense It’s the work of the people at the club. It makes it easier to have harmony and obtain the best performance.
– Let’s think about what is important with the Fluminense. If we need to change the team, thinking about the World Cup, we will do that. But we will respect the competition until the end. Being a believer in the scales doesn’t cross your mind. What’s important is to play as seriously as possible and think about things Fluminense.
– Marcelo played more inside than he usually did. The team, as a whole, was unable to impose itself in the first half. The changes, in the second half, had an effect. The team has played in a varied way. We have other ways to play. If you play the same way, you end up making it easier for your opponent.
– We made good plays in the middle. Then, we started to circulate the ball more. Yony had more presence in the area. After Lelê came in, we used long balls more. Today we played in a different way. This shows the team’s maturity from the cumulative effect of a year and a half of work.
