Serna teases Kennedy: "Good to have a madman in the squad" | OneFootball

The Colombian was responsible for opening the scoring against Flamengo, while the number 99 secured the second goal in Tricolor’s 2-1 victory

Kevin Serna and John Kennedy were the protagonists who found the net in Fluminense’s important 2-1 win in this weekend’s Fla-Flu. After the final whistle, in a relaxed atmosphere, Serna didn’t miss the chance to joke about his strike partner’s unusual celebration, affectionately calling him “crazy.”

The goal scored by the Colombian started from a play initiated by John Kennedy, who set up Santi Moreno for the final assist. Shortly after, Tricolor’s own number 99 extended the lead. In his celebration, JK lived up to the nickname given to him by the fans and put on a bear mask, an act that earned him a yellow card from the referee.

In an interview with ge tv, Serna commented on his attacking partner’s irreverent personality and revealed another squad member who shares the same “craziness”:

— JK is crazy. We always say that. That’s just the way he is. I have a different personality, I’m more laid-back. It’s always good to have a crazy guy in the group, and we have two: JK and Freytes. Both of them are really crazy — the forward joked.

The making of the victory

The play leading to Tricolor’s first goal was a perfect example of teamwork. John Kennedy started a one-two with Santi Moreno, who advanced through the midfield and found Serna wide on the left. With space, the forward broke into the box and finished precisely, opening the scoring for the Team of Warriors.

The second blow fittingly came from the “Bear’s” feet. After a corner taken by Lima towards the penalty spot, Bernal flicked the ball on with his head. The opposing defense got confused, with Royal making a grave mistake by setting the ball up at John Kennedy’s feet. The striker didn’t forgive and fired into the right corner past goalkeeper Andrew.

The rival still managed to pull one back with Cebolinha, but the 2-1 score confirmed Fluminense’s superiority in the 4th round of the Campeonato Carioca, to the delight of the Tricolor fans.
