After a historic defeat, Fluminense secured itself in the final of the Carioca Championship and received kind words from the coach after the match
On the afternoon of this Saturday, the 18th, the Fluminense entered the pitch to play the second leg of the Carioca Championship semifinal. After losing the first leg 2-1, Tricolor das Laranjeiras received the round round and had no difficulties. In need of a simple victory, the Fernando Diniz thrashed by 7 to 0 and advanced to the state decision.
Right after the match, Diniz gave a press conference and showed he was on cloud nine with the historic rout. However, one of the reporters charged the coach with the following question: “What was missing for the team to have a better finish?“. With an amused tone, the coach joked with the press professional and called him “demanding“.
“You’re a picky guy, huh? How much would you like it to be? Twelve, 15, 25? (laughter). The team scored seven goals. It’s great. We had a concern in the second half of the team to accommodate and it did not accommodate. The expulsion in a certain way, I think it helped Volta Redonda to lower the lines. They practically gave up the attack“, evaluated Fernando Diniz in a press conference.
“So they ended up getting more solid, elastic scoreboard. But we created chances, several chances created. The score could have been more, but with seven goals I’m happy. I believe it was Fluminense’s best match. Much more than the rout, but the way the team managed to behave in the manner of the game“, added the coach.
We knew the difficulties of the game, a very strong team physically. We studied a lot and the tactical part fit well, the intensity, which was very high. And technically they had a lot of good players. With this, we managed to achieve a very expressive result“, finished Diniz.
