Renê rues Fluminense loss to Vasco: “Plenty created, not finished”

After the 3-2 defeat to Vasco da Gama, after a comeback, at the Maracanã, the full-back Renê analyzed Fluminense's performance and pointed out the main flaws of the team in the second half.

The Tricolor managed to take a 2-0 lead, but conceded three goals in the final stage, all after the opponent grew into the game.

— It's hard to talk right now. We need to take a closer look at what happened, but I believe we made some mistakes with aerial balls, both from set pieces and open play. I think they grew into the game that way, putting balls into the box, and we couldn't cover the crosser or clear the ball inside the area — he said.

The player also emphasized that the team needs to make better use of the chances they create to avoid situations like in this match.

— We're having a lot of chances and not converting them. And we're conceding goals that are making the game complicated. Now we need to minimize these mistakes, concede fewer goals. We're creating well, scoring goals, but we need to hold things at the back to keep winning — he added.

The defeat interrupts Fluminense's good run, and the team returns to the field next Saturday, against Atlético-MG, at 6:30 p.m., also at the Maracanã.
