Savarino on battle for a place at Fluminense: “Anyone can play” | OneFootball

Savarino is using Fluminense’s free week to regain his place in the team. In an interview with ge, the forward spoke about the competition for a spot in attack with Soteldo and Serna and said he is ready to return to the starting lineup. The Venezuelan began the season as an undisputed starter, but lost ground in recent matches. Even so, he sees the competition positively and praised the options Fluminense has in attack. — It’s a team with great players. Anyone can play. Recently, I wasn’t involved in two matches, but I’m always preparing in the best way possible. I want to help on and off the field. I hope to be at a good level to help the team with what lies ahead — he said. Signed in January after leaving Botafogo, he has played 33 matches and has been involved in nine goals for Fluminense. The forward is the third player in the squad with the most goals in 2026. — I’m very happy here. Fluminense welcomed me very well. My adaptation was quick and I’m experiencing very good moments here.

The forward also assessed Fluminense’s response since Marcão’s arrival. The team has gone three matches unbeaten and is coming off two wins in the Brasileirão, in addition to qualifying for the Libertadores quarterfinals after eliminating Independiente Rivadavia on penalties. — I know we went through a complicated moment, but that happens to every team. Now we’re doing well — he said. The next match will be against Athletico-PR on Sunday, in Curitiba. Savarino sees the free week as an important opportunity for Marcão to prepare the team for the direct clash. — When you have more training days, the coach can talk more with you. He can speak with the players about what he has in mind for the match, and that is very important for us. — I hope these days help us prepare because we know it will be a very difficult match. It’s an important clash and we have to be prepared for everything — he concluded.
