Fluminense, who were going through a poor period, showed on Saturday that they no longer wants to be relegation contenders this season, beating Goiás at the Maracanã.
Against Goiás, club captain and striker Fred was the main highlight of the game where he scored the team’s first goal and gave the assist to Gustavo Scarpa who scored the second. Besides them, youngsters Marlon, Léo Pelé and Marcos Júnior also impressed, while Scarpa received special praise from the coach Eduardo Baptista: “Scarpa scored a goal, and Léo made the cross for Fred’s goal. It’s nice to see the boys with personality, playing. Scarpa is a good boy, dedicated, he’s had good matches. We have to think about the match against Grêmio, that’s what we focus on. One of the reasons that made me come to Fluminense was exactly why. For me, winning is very good. I talked to the boys that they are not here to take pictures. If there’s a condition, they will play with me. The boys have to win opportunity, score goals and I’m even happier.”
