In the images, striker Paulinho left comments about the Rio team winning the Copa Libertadores. The comments made the Tricolores dream of a possible signing.

In a recent interview with ESPN, the black-and-white striker demonstrated that he was a fan of the Rio team and recalled watching the Libertadores final between Fluminense and LDU, in 2008. On that occasion, Fluminense lost on penalties.

“I don’t even know if I could be saying this, but the first Libertadores final of 2008 comes to mind, between Fluminense and LDU. I was at Maracanã and it was a very sad day. I remember that the campaign was very good, we were at almost every game at Maracanã. My father sometimes took us out of school early to go to Maracanã, because I studied in the afternoon. The game was sometimes at 7:30 pm, 7 pm and he would pick us up early at school to take the subway and go to Maracanã”, commented Paulinho.
