And what about the loss to River Plate? Fernando Diniz saw a “very difficult game” for Fluminense
“It was a tough game. River knew how to put pressure on us, we had our chances. We knew the game would be difficult. We could have a little more strength in the game. After we conceded the goal, we were better in the match until the end of the game. We had our chance to do it, we had a doubtful penalty kick. We knew the game would be difficult, but the team fought back. We could have had a little more control, but River knew how to score, they knew how to press high“, he completed.
