Fluminense head coach Abel Braga knows his side will have to pay special attention to the in-form Ronaldinho when the league leaders meet Atlético Mineiro in Sunday’s top of the table clash. However the coach believes that the second placed side will have to be wary of his own in-form midfielder Deco.
Braga, 60, revealed that the midfielder will be watched closely during the game, knowing that even if are aware of what the former Barcelona star is capable of, you cannot always stop him. But he thinks Deco can provide Atlético Mineiro coach Cuca the same problems.
He said: “Ronaldinho will have the same marking that they will give to Deco. There is talk they will mark by zone, it is a lie.”
A victory in Belo Horizonte would all but seal the Brasileirão for the carioca team and keeper Diego Cavalieri spoke of the importance of this game.
“It’s a very important game for us and for them. It is the same difficulty of all games
“Let’s try to play and win these last match’s and try to come out with advantage to take a big step towards the title,” said Cavalieri.
