After Fluminense’s victory over Água Santa in the 1st round of the Copinha last Monday (5th), coach Felipe Canavan commented on the team’s performance during the match and highlighted that the second-half display is closer to what the group can show in the tournament.

The difference was being balanced in all phases of the game. We knew it would be a tough match against a very physical team, with strong and tall players up front, but we handled that well. Right after Água Santa’s goalkeeper was sent off, we managed to score with Vagno, which gave us some comfort. We were able to organize the necessary details during halftime and came back even better. Fluminense’s play in the second half is closer to what I believe we can deliver. We’re going to work to improve, be more aggressive, and perhaps have a more imposing performance against Brasiliense. That’s one of our goals, to progress in the competition and keep adding points,” said Canavan.

The coach also spoke about the importance of the experience that the goalscorers, Vagno and Kelwin, had with the professional team and how other squad members can follow the same path and blossom throughout the Copinha.

They are players with history and a long process at the club, having gone through several age groups. The fact that they have already debuted with the professional team gives them, without a doubt, composure for tough games like this. They are extremely important for us. The goals certainly bring confidence, but regardless of having scored today, with the performances they showed, being balanced and technically skilled, it’s very important to see the level of courage and confidence growing throughout the competition. I hope other boys can also blossom in the coming rounds so we can be increasingly competitive,” said Felipe.

The Tricolor will be back on the field against Brasiliense for the 2nd round of Group 25 of the tournament next Thursday (8th), at 4:30 p.m., at Estádio Municipal Prefeito Gabriel Marques da Silva, in Santana de Parnaíba (SP).
