Marcelo also discussed the recent departure of coach Fernando Diniz. “His exit affected us, but we have to focus on the present with our current coach, Marcão. Sticking to the past will only drag us down.”
With the season halfway through, Fluminense must turn their efforts into wins soon. The next matches will be critical for their survival in the top league.
