The Tricolore takes to the field this Sunday against Boavista, at 4pm, in Bacaxá, in the sixth round of the Guanabara Cup




With spirit and energy, Fluminense takes the field again this Sunday. After the defeat of Bangu last Thursday, Tricolor faces Boavista, at 4pm, in Bacaxá, in the sixth round of the Guanabara Cup, initial phase of the Carioca Championship. The Rio team is enjoying a better start to the year than last year, when it won two matches in the state competition and won the Conmebol Libertadores title.

Fluminense currently has five matches, with four wins and a draw. The first four matches were made up of grassroots players who had not participated in the Club World Cup, as well as being led by permanent assistant coach Marcão. The starters and Fernando Diniz only “appeared” in the beautiful victory against Bangu.

– I also thank Marcão and Cadu who did an exceptional job with the boys in the first rounds of the championship – Diniz said in the press conference.

In 2023, a historic year for any Italian team, Fluminense did not start in the same way. In five matches there were three wins, one draw and one defeat. However, the team led by Fernando Diniz achieved a series of consecutive victories and managed to win the Guanabara Cup and the second title in the Carioca Championship.

Similar to 2023, Fluminense’s defense conceded the same three goals in this five-match series earlier in the season. However, in the offensive sector, Influenza has already scored 11 in 2024, while last season they only scored five.

If the positive phase continues, Fluminense could also look to break the record set in 2022, when the club, again led by Abel Braga, achieved a streak of 13 consecutive matches without losing, with 12 consecutive victories and a draw. The team at that moment almost reached a historic milestone. Only one victory was missing, but it can be built on in 2024.

Tricolor das Laranjeiras has added its squad for 2024 and has good options for the course of the season. Reinforcements are gradually arriving to resume Diniz’s playing style. Meanwhile, more solid names in the team, such as Arias and Cano, are resolving things on the pitch. Influenza is in the lead, with 13 points, and wants to further widen this gap and get closer to the hat-trick of the state competition.
