However, once again, the tricolors suffered with an up-and-down performance. Coach Fernando Diniz admitted the performance fluctuation, but praised the team’s performance.

“I think Fluminense played very well in the first 20 minutes, we were attacking, without suffering. From 20 minutes until the end of the first half, the match changed, we made dangerous counterattacks, we ended up swinging in that period. In the second time went better, against Volta Redonda we had a good first half, we had many difficulties in the game, very similar to this one, at the beginning of the second half we conceded, a well trained team, we had difficulty penetrating, which we did not had in the second half against Portuguesa.I think this time we made Fluminense play the best game of the league.I think we played more within our standards.In the first 20 minutes and in the second half we had a lot of clarity with André in defense because it’s difficult to play against a team that comes as it came, we produced, we scored three goals and we could have done more” Diniz said.

In addition to acting, Fernando Diniz also highlighted the development of the physical part, which had been criticized in recent matches.

“The physical part of Fluminense is getting better and better, it has always gone well. The team is now getting on track in the physical, tactical and technical part. In the first matches we filmed for everyone. Giving our best. The team played a consistent game, which is already approaching the best games of last year, still considering a very good team in the game and the heat, which was very strong. To play today, they made an adaptation and put more markers, to really stop the game, the teams study us and we managed, especially in the second half, to play an interesting game in the offensive part without exposing ourselves to counter-attacks,” he said.

Fluminense will have the week off to prepare for the duel against Bangu, for the 10th round of the Campeonato Carioca, which will take place next Saturday, at 16:00 (Brasilia time), at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasilia.
