Thiago Santos celebrates his first start at Fluminense, but cites lack of pace

Volante started this Saturday in the absence of the suspended André and started for the first time since joining

In charge of Fluminense’s victory against Cuiabá on Saturday, defensive midfielder Thiago Santos celebrated his first start in the eleven since being signed by the club. In the absence of André, the number 29 declared that he was having difficulty because he was out of pace, but underlined that he gave his all on the pitch.

– I didn’t play much this year and this was my first game as a starter. Those who are playing are already used to Diniz’s dynamics. We feel a lot, but we try to do the best. Luckily we were able to leave with the win – Thiago Santos said in the mixed zone after the match.

Thiago Santos celebrated Fluminense’s victory and praised Cuiabá’s team. According to the midfielder, the Midwest team has given work to the Tricolore, but the goal, which was victory, has been achieved.

– We come in constant good. We also won against Cruzeiro and today the victory was important. Cuiabá’s team is good and will take points from many teams, and we have to do our part. Every game must lead to an end. We couldn’t lose points today.

The midfielder said that now flu has become the key to the Copa do Brasil, in which Laranjeiras’ team will play a classic against Flamengo, in the round of 16. The first game is on Tuesday, at the Maracanã.

– Before we had to think about Cuiabá and now we think about Flamengo. It will be a tough match. We work hard every day and we are sure that on Tuesday we will play a great game- said Thiago Santos, who will not be able to face Rubro-Negro because he has already played for Grêmio in this edition of the tournament.
