Upon arriving in Asunción for the duel against Cerro Porteño, Renato Augusto said that what happened damaged the image of Tricolor das Laranjeiras, but emphasized that the fact cannot affect the team’s performance on the field.

– We were taken a little by surprise. We haven’t seen things like this for a long time. It’s bad for everyone’s image, the club, the athletes. It’s a delicate situation, but we can’t let it interfere on the field. It’s about focusing on Thursday’s game and not creating even more problems. It’s about focusing on the game – the midfielder said to the ‘Jornada 1902’ channel.

The midfielder, who has not played for Fluminense since April 3 and should be a substitute against Cerro Porteño, highlighted the importance of unity in the squad to win back the Libertadores.

– I’ve never been a champion on a team that wasn’t united. But that doesn’t mean that a united team is obliged to win or will win, because it’s not like that. There are also players from other teams, anyway. But I never won a title in a team that wasn’t united. The first step is this. You have a united group, players who like each other, who believe in the process, in the work. We are on the right path. It’s about focusing and forgetting what happened now to be able to achieve a sequence of victories – concluded Renato Augusto.

UNDERSTAND THE CASE

John Kennedy, Kauã Elias, Arthur and Alexsander invited women and organized a party inside the Fluminense concentration before the match against Vasco.

The movement bothered some of the squad’s leaders, who requested concentration precisely to avoid off-field problems. Tricolor das Laranjeiras decided to remove the quartet for the duels against Cerro Porteño, in the Libertadores, and Corinthians, in the Brasileirão
