The coach celebrates his third consecutive victory, but says the Tricolor is still far from ideal. The Captain praises Giovanni, owner for the first time since he arrived
Coach Fernando Diniz celebrated Fluminense’s victory over Madureira in Cariacica on Sunday but said the team was still far from ideal. In a press conference after the match, the tricolor commander said that he is giving the athletes a rhythm and that over time things will improve.
– The idea at the beginning of the season is to get everyone to play to gain pace and chemistry. Many people have arrived and need to learn. At some point we will start repeating the team, I like that. We are still in the pre-season. Right now I need to rest some players, I can’t get everyone to play consecutive games – said the coach.
With this Sunday’s result, Fluminense conquered their team third consecutive win of the season, all without conceding a goal, something that hadn’t happened for 13 years. Diniz, on the other hand, commented on the performance above all of the defensive systems and said that the team cannot concede chances to the opponent.
– It’s not the defense, it’s the defense system. The problem is almost never with the defenders. The main problem wasn’t the progress of the defence, but the fact that we didn’t press up front. In the second half, the team was a little more distant. The problem is that we can’t get the defense comfortable with the high line. If the defense is coming back, the forwards have to come back. There are things to correct, but with normality for the start of the season – he said -.
– Any team that creates a lot must be careful not to relax. You can’t think of scoring at any moment. We have been given some opportunities. We can’t just get stuck on the outcome of the match. Sometimes you give up chances because you miss and others are due to the opponent, but today most of Madureira’s chances were our fault,” he added.
Diniz also spoke of the affection of Espírito Santo’s Fluminense fans, who had not received the club for almost six years. upon arrival, Saturday the Italian fans had a big party in front of the hotel doorand the coach praised the moment.
– The main thing here is the turnout of the crowd. It’s a little different because of the time, it’s been six years, he has a special affection. The field was in good condition and the reception from the public was perfect.

game analysis
-The team had an excellent first half, but then we conceded some space that we shouldn’t have given up. The offensive production was good, but we can’t give up those spaces.
Best moment in Fluminense?
– It is difficult to answer this question. The best thing is to improve the team every day. The players are working hard. We made some mistakes today, but we are adapting. We always have to improve. Regardless of the result, you can always improve.
Early season review
– I’m not getting attached to the result at the moment, although it is important. But for the start of the season, the team produced well. Building is more difficult than destroying. My gripe today is that we can’t falter. We are working for a long season and will fight for all championships.
John Mansone
– He replied, he is a young man. He remembers a little what happened in 2019 with Caio Henrique, Allan. He left Brazil very early, but he didn’t know how to adapt. We have seen his matches at Ajax and the prospect of him at Santos was good. He will do even better. He has the characteristics of a Xerém player. He is technical, versatile. You will have a positive future here.
