“We were caught a little by surprise. It’s been a while since we’ve seen things like this. It’s bad for the image of everyone at the club, for all the athletes. It’s a delicate situation, but we can’t let it interfere on the field. It’s about focusing in Thursday’s game, not to create any more problems. Now is the time to focus on the game”, said Renato Augusto, to the channel “Jornada 1902”.
The reason for Fluminense’s decision is due to a party with women that the four young people had at the hotel where the tricolor squad was concentrated before the game against Vasco. The more experienced players, who asked the group to stay concentrated precisely to focus on the classic, were uncomfortable with the attitude of the four.
Tricolor will face Cerro Porteño on Thursday, at 7pm (Brasília time), at La Nueva Olla Stadium. The match is valid for the third round of Group A of the Copa Libertadores.
