The Italian team lost against Flamengo 2-0 and in the next match they will have to win with a 3-goal difference. Shortly after the match, Felipe Melo made it clear that the team did better in the second half, but the sending off changed the match and meant that Fluminense simply defended.
– The first half in which Flamengo created many chances. You forgot to mention that until the expulsion Fluminense were much better. The match was shaping up to be a possible draw, after the sending off we had to run like crazy and score.
The Italian defender clarified that he has not yet given up on the championship and explained that Fluminense is fully capable of overturning the result in the next match and advancing to the Carioca final.
– Unfortunately in the end we conceded a goal. We already showed in Rio last year that we can, we know it’s very difficult, but working in silence is the best thing we have right now.
Fluminense will carry out a full week of training and will return to the field next Saturday (16th) to decide a place in the decider against Flamengo.
