Player says: ‘We must win,’ Savarino before Fluminense decider | OneFootball

Fluminense takes the field this Wednesday (27) under the greatest pressure of the season so far. Needing to beat Deportivo La Guaira at the Maracanã to stay alive in the Libertadores, the Tricolor is counting on the strength of its fans and its recent good form to secure a place in the round of 16.

One of the main names in the attacking unit, Venezuelan Savarino looked ahead to the decisive clash and stressed the team’s obligation to make home advantage count. The No. 11 said the squad is prepared for the match and reinforced the importance of a positive result in front of the Tricolor supporters.

“I’ve been on a very strong run, but I’m fine, I recovered over the weekend. The expectation is always very high, we’re at home and we have to win the game, do our job and get the result as well,” he said.

Fluminense heads into the decisive Libertadores round under pressure after losing to Mirassol in the Brazilian Championship. Even amid a spell of inconsistency, the Tricolor is relying on the strength of the Maracanã and the experience of its squad to seek the win that could keep the club alive in the continental competition.

In addition to needing a victory, the club is also keeping an eye on the match between Bolívar and Independiente Rivadavia to determine its future in Group C.
