The tricolor rearguard has shown a positive performance, and a possible reflection has a chance to appear during 2023
They went against Bangu, Portuguesa, Vasco and Audax. Four games, four victories and, in none of those games, the Fluminense goalkeeper had to look for the ball at the back of the goal. The tricolor defense shows an evolution: a positive sign for those who want to have better results than the irregular 2022.
This isn’t Flu’s first recent undefeated defensive streak. In the first three matches of this year, against Resende, Nova Iguaçu and Madureira, Fernando Diniz’s team has also not leaked. Add victories over Goiás and Red Bull Bragantino, in the last two rounds of the last Brazilian championship, and Tricolor added five games without leaking.
It is obvious that there is a level distance in the Carioca Championship, compared to other competitions. Also in the state last year was that Tricolor had more games without a leak. But a four-game streak, no. And even when the team applied a resounding blow, for the Copa Sudamericana, it leaked. Oriente Petrolero (BOL) won 10 to 1.
In the last Brazilian championship, third place in the standings was achieved with the second best attack. Only, on the other hand, the rear was only eighth best. América-MG, who finished in 10th place, conceded one goal fewer than the 41 conceded by Nino and company.
To be better against the best, evolving to a lower level of demand is preparation. And so it is.
