The Guanabara Cup leader with 13 points and two consecutive victories in the Classics has left the field with a 100% success rate in the last five games. Fluminense is Carioca’s starring sensation so far.
And already given the tight schedule that begins next week, with the Libertadores da America taking off, Abel Braga has decided to spare the starting line-up against Portuguesa on Sunday. A calculated risk, which ended up leaving several fleas behind his ear.
Abel loved the team’s performance and admitted he would make changes to the match against Nova Iguaçu in relation to the team that entered the field against Botafogo last Thursday. The team was responding on the pitch, but the crowd is getting impatient with the coach’s choice. Who is the main attacker? Unique or Kano? The Argentine scored the winning goal against Portuguesa, and the tricolor fan star did not perform well. Will Abel put Fred on the bench?
Fluminense had two matches with Campeonato Carioca before making his Libertadores debut. This Wednesday, they face Nova Iguaçu, at 21:35, in Luso-Brazilero. On Saturday, board the Volta Redonda at 6 p.m. Tricolor plays against the Millonarios team next Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, in Bogotá, with a height of more than 2,640 meters, in the first leg of the second stage of the Libertadores. The rematch is scheduled for March 1.
