Everaldo plays only 36 minutes in 8 games, loses spot at Fluminense | OneFootball

Forward Everaldo has lost his place in the Fluminense squad since the arrival of Luis Zubeldía. The player has not taken the field in the last three matches and, under the Argentine coach, has played only 36 minutes in eight games.

Since the change in the coaching staff, the number 9 has featured in three games: 18 minutes in the win over Botafogo, 9 against Atlético-MG, and 9 against Juventude. Since then, he has not been used again and remains one of the last options in the attacking sector.

With John Kennedy and Germán Cano alternating, Everaldo has become the third option for the striker position. Although Cano is not in his best technical form, Zubeldía has kept the Argentine as an important part of the rotation, while JK has taken over the starting spot.

Before Zubeldía’s arrival, the situation was different. Under Renato Gaúcho, Everaldo was an undisputed starter and had a run of games. However, the forward was heavily criticized by the fans, who questioned his performances and low offensive output.

The change in scenario also reflects the new style of play implemented by Zubeldía, who has prioritized mobility and intensity in the attacking sector. Now, Everaldo is trying to regain his place and seek opportunities in this final stretch of the season, with Fluminense still fighting for a spot in the Libertadores.
