Zubeldía: Fluminense have the squad to fight for 2026 title | OneFootball

Fluminense defeated Botafogo 1-0 this Thursday at Maracanã, taking the second place in the Brazilian Championship. After the match, coach Luis Zubeldía praised the team's performance and highlighted the team's aggressive profile. — The most important thing is that the team has always shown an aggressive profile with and without the ball since I arrived. I am happy with the squad, not only because of the results but because I have players with different profiles, which allows me to make changes. Now, with Canobbio's expulsion, we will look for a player who is similar, no two players are the same. We have a good squad, which is important. We started well and we have to keep going game by game — he stated. The coach also commented on the chances of Tricolor winning titles this season. — We have to think game by game. The management maintained a good base, adapted players arrived, and that helps. I believe we have a squad to compete, whether at home or away — he added.

Fluminense returns to the field next Monday during Carnival, at 6 PM, against Bangu at Maracanã, for the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Carioca.
