Scoring my first goal with this jersey is something I dreamed of. It was a very good play, a great cross from Canobbio, and I was able to take advantage of it. But the most important thing is that the team won — he stated.

— We knew it would be a tough game, against a great team. We had to fight hard on the field. At times we suffered, especially at the end, but we managed to hold on to the result.The striker also commented on the physical wear of the squad after the recent run of matches, and pointed out areas to improve for the upcoming fixtures.— We were coming off a very intense game, so the fatigue weighs on us. The substitutions helped bring new energy, but we know we need to improve, especially to have more control of the ball at the end of matches.Now, Castillo’s Fluminense will have time to train during the FIFA break. The next match will be against Corinthians, at Maracanã. The date and time have not yet been confirmed by the CBF, but it is expected to take place at the beginning of April.
