Fluminense Makes History with Recopa Sul-Americana 2024 Victory at Maracanã

– The end is harvest time. It’s not today. We seeded when we lost to Olímpia in Paraguay, we were eliminated. We started planting there, we made everyone understand that the Fluminense It’s huge – said Felipe Melo, in an interview with ESPN.

But the fans’ desire to win a title over LDU at Maracanã came from before. In 2008, in front of a packed stadium, the Ecuadorian team beat Tricolor in the Libertadores final. Drama that was repeated in 2009, in the South American final.

Felipe Melo paid a posthumous tribute to the fans who were at the stadium in past decisions.

– I said in the locker room that today we weren’t just playing for our family or for the fans. But we play for the memory of many who were there in 2008 and 2009, and who today were being represented by father, husband, wife. It’s a warrior team – he said.

Felipe Melo played the entire first half and had little trouble, against an LDU that played more to defend itself than to widen the gap. In the second stage, other veterans entered, such as Douglas Costa, Renato Augusto and Marcelo. The trio’s entry positively changed the scenario of the match and Felipe Melo praised Tricolor’s experienced players.

– O time do Fluminense There are a lot of veterans who win trophies too. Another. A lot of humility. People have to understand that age doesn’t matter. It is important to pay the daily price. I’ve seen young people who ran less than older players. Now I’m living a dream. Dream, no. Reality. This is reality here.

O Fluminense returns to the field on Sunday, to face Botafogo, in the last round of the Guanabara Cup.
