The irregularity of Fluminense It is not coincidental. It is surprising, because they have shown signs of being a great team both in the Brazilian as in the main continental club tournament. However, after 0-2 (Paulinho double) from this Saturday before Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte, there is no doubt that the proximity to November 4date of the decisive match against Boca for the Libertadores final, pesa. And a lot.
His own coach recognizes him Fernando Díniz, another who also has his mind on his part-time job with the Brazilian national team. “When you’re on two fronts, everything becomes a little more difficult. “We are going to give our best to win the Libertadores,” he assured. at a press conference.
The small downturn of the Flu
Since getting its place in the Cup final, the Rio team has barely won one of its five games played. and got four points out of 15 possible. That’s why he lost track of the first platoon. But it is no excuse for Diniz.
“We prepare the equipment every day. At no time did we leave aside the local championship. Today (this Saturday) we brought the best players, those who were healthy. John Arias came on in the second half. We are taking the Brasileirao very seriously. “It is a difficult contest,” he said.
The Laranjeiras Tricolor ended up in eighth place in the table with 45 points in 30 games. They will have to beat Xeneize if they want to guarantee a place in Libertadores 2024. For now, the gasoline is enough for the Sudamericana.
Diniz took care of the elite troops
The DT, likewise, is taking care. While Jorge Almirón saved everyone (even Sergio Romero) in the 0-0 against Estudiantes for the League Cup, Diniz barely included Fábio and André among his starters against Galo. But it’s all in the mind, not just in the feet. “Naturally, it was impossible to focus only on Atlético Mineiro. Since we passed Inter Porto Alegre in the semifinal, we have the fans, the institution, behind us. But we work as hard as possible to focus on one game at a time.”.

Regarding the defeat in Minas Gerais with the muletto, he was also not completely dissatisfied. At least, discursively. “In the first half we couldn’t create very clear situations. The match became studied, more even. We conceded a goal after a stopped ball and another because of one of those mistakes that we don’t usually make. We were not dominated, we did not play a bad game. All We work hard to give the best possible in the Brasileirao. But it is impossible not to remember the Libertadores”.

The doubt about what is coming
What will Diniz do with his team next Tuesday, from 7 p.m., when Fluminense visits Bahía at the World Cup Arena Fonte Nova on the 30th? In principle, little. At least, on the edge of the field: he received a new warning and was suspended from entering the field of play.
What did you say about your work with the Brazil team?
“We try to do the best we can there. When we arrived in Fluminense we managed to implement some concepts, some ideas gradually. In the National Team little by little we can also put our ideas into practice.”
