O Fluminense arrived in Asunción, capital of Paraguay, this Tuesday (23) to play another match in the CONMEBOL Libertadoresthis time against the Cerro Porteño. Four athletes, however, were not with the rest of the squad.
Even before the trip, the club announced the removal of four names: John Kennedy, Alexsander, Kauã Elias and Arthur, all for acts of indiscipline during the concentration of the last game against Vasco.
Upon arrival in Paraguay, the midfielder Renato Augustoback after injury, regretted what happened in an interview with the channel Journey 1902.
“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, 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 create even more problems. It’s about focusing on the game”, he said.
As determined by ESPN, Fernando Diniz was already unhappy with the way the young players in the squad behaved. The coach always considered the human side of the athletes, supporting and defending the players. However, since the beginning of the season, the commander was not satisfied with some attitudes.
Due to inappropriate behavior, Fluminense, who did not usually concentrate, called for concentration in an exceptional way for the classic against Vasco.
The trigger was when the quartet took guests to the hotel located in the Olympic Park region, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, where Tricolor was concentrated, exceeding the permitted time limit. The attitude was considered unacceptable and led to the removal of the four.
It is worth noting that the punishment was not carried out immediately as Fluminense did not catch the indiscipline. The club only found out about the situation after Saturday’s game, being informed by hotel employees and security guards.
