The mood is festive in Laranjeiras as Fluminense wins the Copa Libertadores, but the club still has missions to complete before the end of the year.
Fluminense won the Conmebol Libertadores title, but still have matches to play in the Brazilian Championship and Club World Cup until the end of the year. The atmosphere is festive among players, coaching staff, managers and fans and the national competition can be used to plan the championship match between teams from around the world.
For the Brasileirão, the Tricolore still has seven matches on the pitch, four at home and three away, but these home games will be a classic against Flamengo, at the Maracanã.
Matches for the Brazilian:
- Internazionale x Fluminense
- Flamengo x Fluminense
- Fluminense x San Paolo
- Fluminense x Coritiba
- Santos x Fluminense
- Palmeiras x Fluminense
- Fluminense x Gremio
At the moment the Tricolore is in eighth place, with 45 points. In 31 matches, they achieved 13 wins, six draws and 12 defeats, which represents a success rate of 48%. With the ranking already confirmed for the 2024 Libertadores, Flu can play with more peace of mind, but a good placing could improve the prize money at the end of the year.
Club World Cup
With the Libertadores title, the team coached by Fernando Diniz will now access the semi-finals of the tournament and could face one of the following teams: Al-Ittihad (SAU), Auckland City (NZE) or Al-Ahly (EGI). León (MEX) and Urawa Reds Diamonds (JAP), however, will face each other in the quarter-finals to try to play against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
– Dreaming and having it as a goal has always been in my life. I always entered my games with the desire to win. I have always bet on what was my founding belief, which was to provide a game that players enjoy playing and that people enjoy watching. Throughout our lives we improve. To face Manchester City in the World Cup we have to get through the semi-finals. The matches are increasingly balanced – He said.
The 2023 Club World Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia, in the city of Jeddah, between December 12 and 22, and will be the last world championship with the current format. From 2025, the tournament will feature 32 teams and will begin taking place every four years.
