Savarino on boos from Fluminense fans: “Over the top”

Attacking midfielder Savarino, in the mixed zone, commented on the boos from the Fluminense fans after the 2-0 win over Operário, which secured the Tricolor side’s qualification for the next round of the Copa do Brasil. For the Venezuelan, the reaction from the stands was exaggerated, but the most important thing was the result, which kept the team alive in the competition.

— I think it’s exaggerated, because for me I’m always going to hold myself accountable whether I play well or badly. As I said, the team knows when it plays well and when it plays badly. I think these boos are exaggerated, but for me the most important thing is qualification — he said.

Savarino highlighted that, despite the positive result, the team could have wrapped up the match more comfortably. According to the forward, Fluminense created chances throughout the game, but needs to be more efficient to avoid coming under unnecessary pressure.

— We had chances during the game, and we played well at times. We have to kill off the game at certain moments. We hope to improve in the next matches so we can put together a winning run — he added.

With the win, Fluminense moves on to the next round of the Copa do Brasil and now awaits the decision on its next opponent in the national tournament.
