— We have to fight for our fans, we have to start winning again for our supporters. Right now, I’m just asking them to come and fill the stadium. The support of our fans is very important to us — he said.

John Kennedy also emphasized that the strength from the stands has already been decisive in other recent seasons and believes it can once again make a difference for the team.

— Our fans are our twelfth player, just as they always were in 2023, 2024 and 2025. I know we’re not showing what you expect, but I ask you to pack the stadium and come support us — he added.

With the result, Fluminense continues trying to stay near the top of the Brasileirão table and is looking to get back to winning ways in the upcoming matches of the season.
