Hulk clears up remark and explains Fluminense choice: ‘He wants trophies’

One of Fluminense’s marquee signings in 2026, Hulk highlighted the quality of the Tricolor squad. In an exclusive interview with Sportv, the forward said that, at the Rio club, responsibility for decisions on the field is shared among several experienced players.

The No. 7 explained that the statement he made after his debut, which sparked reactions among Atlético-MG fans, was not a criticism of his former club, but rather a comparison between the situations he experienced at the two teams.

When you talk about sharing responsibility, you arrive at Fluminense and you have Germán Cano, Ganso, Thiago Silva, John Kennedy, Fábio, Martinelli. There are many players who have been here for a while and carry a certain responsibility, and they already know how the club works,” he explained.

According to Hulk, the situation is different from what he found at Atlético-MG. The forward recalled that the squad that won the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil in 2021 was practically dismantled.

In 2021 at Galo, we won everything. The only thing we didn’t win was the Libertadores. From that 2021 team, who is still at Galo? Only Everson,” he said.

Hulk also praised Fluminense’s project and said the club shows ambition by investing in a strong squad to compete for titles.
