Fluminense gave no chances to River Plate last Tuesday night, the 2nd, and Fernando Diniz took advantage of the moment to defend his players
Fernando Diniz came out in defense of their medallions after the thrashing of Fluminense up from river plate. Tricolor’s gala performance at Maracanã drew everyone’s attention, as German Canowho scored a hat-trick, and Arias, who scored twice, helped the team from Rio to beat their Argentine rivals by 5-1. In other words, Tuesday, the 2nd, was full of celebration, but also ideal time to defend your medallions.
After thrashing River Plate 5-1, Fernando Diniz took advantage of the moment to counter the criticism suffered by Felipe Melo and Marcelo. The two veterans are being heavily criticized, but the coach of the tricolor team made a point of going to the press conference to defend his players. According to him, both are important for the future of Tricolor in the 2023 season.
“Today we are back to playing within a pattern that we like a lot, everyone very active, very participatory, knowing how to protect themselves very well. And take advantage of that other question “today they didn’t know how to take advantage of Felipe Melo again, right? Neither Marcelo, right? Today they didn’t know, right? You have to be patient without murdering people before the time. There is no such thing as a bad player playing for Fluminense, Palmeiras, River… If it were in another situation, he might not be there today, depending on the direction, playing another great game“, vented.
Difficult hit?
Even with the 5-1 score and the great performance of Fluminense, Fernando Diniz surprised everyone by saying that the rout was not the easiest for his team. On the contrary, the coach saw the expulsion of González Pires as decisive for Tricolor’s overwhelming victory at Maracanã.
“I didn’t find it an easy game. Expulsion was decisive, but we were better than River. We were playing better, then we found more space to score the other goals. At 10v10 I thought the game was a tough game. And playing with one less, needing to draw, made it difficult for River. Expulsion was decisive“, he completed.
