After hitting a beautiful shot from outside the box, John Kennedy extended Fluminense’s lead and led to victory over Coritiba. On the other hand, the player’s celebration attracted attention, as he threw himself on the ground and simulated Fred’s gesture when he was robbed last Wednesday (22nd). According to Nino it was a form of ‘homage’ by the group to lift the spirits of the former player, the club’s current planning director.
It is worth remembering that the former striker was approached by three men and his car and cell phones were stolen, in Ipanema, in the southern area of Rio de Janeiro. This Saturday (25th), the Civil police said they found the vehicle and are continuing to investigate the perpetrators of the accident.
“The highlight of the game was the John Kennedy celebration. I’ll tell you the whole story. Fred is the type of person who, if it happened to anyone else, would make fun of himself. Since it happened, we’ve done a Video Analysis , he analyzed the highlights, the speed with which he fell to the ground (laughs)”, explained the defender.

“Today when we arrived at the hotel, I asked Paulo Angioni, who is a very serious guy: “Seu Paulo, where is Fred? He’s always here.” He said Fred was a little shaken up. So we agreed that when he got to the hotel, everyone would throw themselves on the floor to show support for him. He didn’t go to the hotel, so we agreed that whoever scored a goal would have paid homage. John Kennedy couldn’t simulate his speed to play, when he was afraid he was too fast (laughs). But here is our tribute, very well thought out and very well executed”, concluded the defender.
Look at the agenda
In the next round, Tricolor will visit Santos on Wednesday (29th), at 7pm (Brasilia time), in Vila Belmiro. Finally, the debut in the Club World Cup is scheduled for December 18th, in the semi-final.
