Understand the case
John Kennedy, Arthur, Kauã Elias and Alexsander were removed by Fluminense due to acts of indiscipline in the concentration before the match against Vasco, won by Tricolor 2-1 last Saturday (20). And the ESPN brings behind the scenes of the crisis in Tricolor.
According to findings, 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.
