“I’m not that stupid…”; Felipe Melo doesn’t mince words at Fluminense and sends a STRONG hint to Flamengo

Libertadores

Unreleased Flu title

Fluminense is the great champion of the 2023 Libertadores. After beating Boca Juniors in extra time, with a goal from John Kennedy, Tricolor das Laranjeiras won the unprecedented cup.

The match was very complicated, after Diniz’s team opened the scoring in the first half, they saw Boca Juniors go up, which worked, as the Argentine team managed to draw. In extra time, Flu’s young man scored the title-winning goal.

With winning the Libertadores, Fluminense guaranteed a place in the Club World Cup. Just like Flamengo in 2022, where the famous phrase appeared: ‘Real Madrid can wait’. Something that didn’t work out very well for the rival, who didn’t even reach the final.

After beating Boca, Felipe Melo made a point of poking his rival and made it clear that he wouldn’t do something like that. Furthermore, he highlighted that the team first has to focus on the semi-final and then probably on Manchester City.

Indirects for Flamengo

“I’m not so stupid as to do something like that. We have a semi-final. First is dreaming and let’s see what we will find in the final. Suddenly that team that is not that strong, that is Manchester City,” he said.

In fact, Felipe Melo was not the only one to poke at his rival, Guga also gave his opinion on the fact and reiterated that he is not the Fluminense team’s profile.
