After Fluminense’s victory over Bahia this Saturday (24/6) for the Brazilian championship, Pirani evaluated the match with double satisfaction. After all, in addition to the 3 points for the team, the result was special for the player on a personal level: he scored the winning goal.
“I was really after that goal. I need to up the numbers in my career,” said the 21-year-old athlete.
The fan was given the opportunity to play in midfield as coach Eduardo Barros (assistant who replaced the suspended Fernando Diniz) spared Ganso most of the time.
“I played roles I wasn’t used to, I played on the left wing, I played for the team even though I was away from the attack. Today I managed to get back to my place, I managed to score the goal, I’m very happy” , he celebrated.
Pirani praises Ganso’s support
Ganso, by the way, was one of the team mates who ran to congratulate Pirani for the goal that gave Fluminense victory. Thus, the fan exalted the importance of team unity.
“I think he came to celebrate with me the moment I’m going through. I’m even happier for the support of the group, which always encourages me.”
With the victory over Bahia, in the Maracanã, Fluminense sleeps in third place, with 21 points, but could lose three positions at the end of the group.
The next match is against Sporting Cristal, for Libertadores, on Tuesday (27/6), at the Maracanã. The match against the Peruvian team is valid for the sixth round of the group stage, in group D. For Pirani, the favorable score against the Bahian team raises the morale of the Italian flag.
“It’s very important, it gives confidence to the group, and I think it’s normal because we work so hard.”
Born in Penápolis (SP), Pirani arrived at Fluminense in February this year. Created by Santos, he moved on to Cuiabá before moving to Rio de Janeiro to defend club Laranjeiras.
