One of the main Argentine newspapers fears Fluminense in the Libertadores and highlighted some points that could be important in the games against River Plate
Entitled to the legend of Real MadridO Fluminense will be feared in liberators, at least that’s what the newspaper “Olé” published shortly after the group stage draw. When analyzing the group river platewhich has the presence of the Tricolor das Laranjeiras, Sporting Cristal and The Strongestthe Argentines seem to be a little apprehensive about the team coached by Fernando Diniz.
In a publication published on the night of last Monday, the 27th, the Argentine daily analyzed the three rivals that River Plate will face in the Libertadores group stage. Tricolor das Laranjeiras, unanimously, saw the newspaper highlight the qualities of Fernando Diniz’s cast and also mention the arrival of Marcelo, who is considered by the newspaper to be a strong reinforcement.
“Fluminense, a rival that he already faced in 2021 and that he could not win (it was a draw in Rio de Janeiro and a defeat in Monumental with a team that was starting to come out of the massive outbreak of Covid and that miraculously qualified for the round of 16 ), has the veneer of being a Brazilian rival with all its complications“, wrote the Argentine newspaper about River Plate facing Fluminense.
In addition, he highlighted the good values that Fluminense has in its squad and, therefore, the tendency is for River Plate to enter with caution when facing Tricolor: “But also with a gift to take care of: with the incorporation of a world star and Real Madrid legend like Marcelo and a record holder like the Argentinean Germán Cano, Flu finished at the top of the Rio championship, ahead of Flamengo itself, its rival in the final“.
Mário Bittencourt squandered confidence with the Fluminense group at Libertadores!
“Headline is ready: “group of death”. I liked the group, there’s a great Argentine team, Sporting Cristal, an important team in Peru, and The Strongest, from Bolivia. When we were named as the group of death in 2021, we finished first. You don’t have to be worried about that. In 2008 we also didn’t have such an easy group and then we faced Nacional, Boca, São Paulo and went to the final. Whoever wants to win has to be prepared for any group“, he stated.
