Arthur Sardinha eyes maiden Copa do Brasil Sub-15 title: “Make history”

After the 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG in Belo Horizonte (MG), Fluminense will decide qualification for the round of 16 of the inaugural Under-15 Copa do Brasil at Marcelo Vieira Stadium, in Xerém. Coach Dalmo Gimenes’ youngsters are chasing their first win of the campaign this Sunday (05/03), at 3 p.m., against Gama-DF, in a match valid for the second round.

“Our team is very determined and wants to be champions. We had a good week, with excellent training sessions, and we are very focused on the match. God willing, we’ll get a good result, leave here with three points, and move up in the standings,” said center back Arthur Sardinha. “I never thought I would be captain of Fluminense in such a wonderful generation, with incredible players. It’s indescribable. Leadership and behavior are very important. We’ve been winning major titles, so that gives us even more desire. It’s the first edition of the tournament, and we can make history at the club. May it be ours,” said the defender.

Unbeaten in three matches, considering the Carioca, a competition in which they are fourth with 17 points and two games in hand, Flu now face an opponent coming off a 3-0 defeat to Cuiabá in their opener. The team will host Dourado, top of Group A3, next Saturday the 9th, also at 3 p.m., in Xerém, which, according to Sardinha, will be crucial.

“It’s very good to play important matches. Deciding qualification at home helps, and we’re going after the six points. We need to step onto the pitch fully focused and execute our technique well, and everything will work out,” he concluded.
