Fluminense is looking for its fifth consecutive Campeonato Carioca final. Tricolor will face Flamengo at 9pm this Saturday, March 16, at Maracanã, in the second leg of the semi-final.

Despite the disadvantage, the tricolor team has an important reinforcement for Fla-Flu 450. Midfielder André, absent from the first game, returns from suspension and is once again available to coach Fernando Diniz. The number 7 highlighted the quality of the opponent and pointed out the difficulties that Fluminense will face, but praised the preparation and was confident for the classic.

“It's going to be a very difficult game. Flamengo is a team that has improved a lot with the arrival of the new coach. We know the difficulty. Last year we managed to reverse this same situation. Our team had a great week of work and I'm sure we'll arrive very well prepared for this game”, he said. b>


After being beaten 2-0 in the first game, Fluminense needs to win by three or more goals to advance to the final, as the rival has the advantage of a draw on the aggregate score.


“It certainly helps to have a full week of work. It was a really good week. Professor (Fernando) Diniz managed to convey everything he had to say, all the details for the match”, concluded André.
