New Signing for Fluminense, Rodrigo Castillo Says It Will Be Beautiful to Score Against Flamengo

After scoring two goals against Flamengo in the South American Recopa for Lanús (ARG), Rodrigo Castillo signed a contract with Fluminense. The striker spoke about his reputation as a tormentor of the Rubro-Negro, made a promise, and stated that it would be beautiful if he manages to score against the Greatest of Rio.

— I have high expectations. I am very happy to join the club. It's a dream to reach the Brasileirão as well. It's a big step in my career. I want to make the most of it, take advantage of the trust the club has given me, which the coaching staff has given me by choosing me, and give that back on the field — said Castillo.

— Yes, obviously (about the promise of more goals against Flamengo). It would be beautiful to score more goals, now wearing the Fluminense jersey. We will work for that. I am a number nine who likes to come out and play. I also like to be in the area, but I am very characterized by going out to play, looking for the ball, and not staying isolated. I love scoring goals. I've been doing all this well, and I think that's what brought me here. I hope to score many goals for this club — he added.

FLUMINENSE'S PROVOCATION TO FLAMENGO?

Thus, Castillo was officially announced by Fluminense on the evening of this Tuesday (03). In the presentation video, the rival showed the two goals scored by the striker in the Recopa finals for Lanús. The first happened in Argentina, when the forward rose between Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira to head the ball.

The second occurred at Maracanã, after a serious mistake by Ayrton Lucas with Agustín Rossi. In summary, Castillo's two goals were crucial for Lanús's team to win the trophy in extra time, after a 2-2 aggregate draw.

THEREFORE, WILL CASTILLO DEBUT AGAINST FLAMENGO?

Curiously, Castillo may make his debut for Fluminense against Flamengo. But for that, the player will need to be registered. This is because the classic match takes place on Sunday (08), at Maracanã, for the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca, starting at 6 PM (Brasília time).
