The atmosphere at Fluminense is far from pleasant. After coming from ahead to lose to Independiente Rivadavia (ARG) in the Copa Sudamericana, Tricolor fans protested outside the training center this Thursday (16). One of the targets was right back Guga, who was confronted for missing a penalty against Flamengo in the Carioca final.
“We don’t want you to feel embarrassed — we want to win everything. At the most important moment, you go and miss the penalty.”, said one of the fans involved in the protest. In addition, the right back was also criticized for a statement he made after the loss to Rivadavia, when he said it’s impossible to win everything.

In the Carioca final, Flamengo and Fluminense contested the title in a penalty shootout. Guga was one of the Laranjeiras side’s players who failed to convert. Besides the fullback, defensive midfielder Otávio also missed, and as a result, Mengão lifted the state championship trophy.
While Fluminense is going through a crisis, Flamengo’s squad has turned things around and is enjoying a good spell this season. Looking to maintain that strong form, this Thursday (16), Mengo faces Independiente Medellín (COL) in the second round of the Libertadores.
Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube with on-site coverage from Leo José and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
