Felipe Melo defends Marcelo and praises the “fantastic atmosphere” at Fluminense

Defensive midfielder Felipe Melo used his social networks this Friday to take a stand on the controversies surrounding the Fluminense environment.

Felipe Melo’s statement responds to rumors that the former Brazilian full-back is out of place in the Fluminense dressing room.

“This is all an intrigue of the opposition. We live in a great environment, where we know our responsibilities, but we also have a dream. To win. For this, we need you fans, instead of giving media to these people who want to finish and ruin the Fluminense environment, knowing that we have the ability to achieve our goal and make our greatest dream come true. These people have tried to bury our dreams by creating problems that don’t exist,” he began.

“The environment at Fluminense is even richer, because a boy like Marcelo has arrived, who is dear to all of us, he is a multiple champion and he helped us a lot in conquering the first goal of the first half, which was the Rio de Janeiro,” he continued.

Even coach Fernando Diniz did not miss Felipe Melo’s statement. The midfielder has come out in support of the Fluminense commander, who has received criticism for the team’s recent performances.

“I would also like to express my gratitude to Fernando Diniz, who is a guy who changed the level of Fluminense. who is to conquer. Forget what people say,” he said.

Fluminense is sixth in the Brasileirão, with 18 points. The next match will be on Saturday, at 18:30 (Brasilia time), against Bahia. Tricolor Carioca hasn’t won in three games.
