Após a vitória do Fluminense por 2 a 1 fora de casa contra o América de Cali, nesta terça-feira (12), Renato Gaúcho citou o fato do time colombiano ter eliminado dois brasileiros anteriormente na Copa Sul-Americana e analisou a atuação de sua equipe, em entrevista coletiva.
“América já tinha vencido o Corinthians (na fase de grupos) e o Bahia (no playoff). Conseguimos os dois gols logo no início, que deram uma tranquilidade maior para a nossa equipe. Eu gosto bastante dos jogadores colombianos, temos alguns no nosso plantel”, destacou o experiente técnico, que disse mais:
“Sofremos uma pressão grande, mas soubemos suportar os ataques, e no finalzinho saiu o gol. Faz parte. É uma partida de 180 minutos e ganhamos a primeira parte. Tivemos duas oportunidades claríssimas, uma com Everaldo e outra com Canobbio no travessão. Poderíamos ter feito o terceiro e eliminado o América. Infelizmente a bola não entrou”, declarou Renato Gaúcho.
América de Cali virou carrasco dos brasileiros
Na fase de grupos, a equipe colombiana empatou duas vezes em 1 a 1 com o Corinthians e ficou acima do Alvinegro Paulista para se classificar no grupo C. Já o Bahia de Rogério Ceni foi vítima nos playoffs, um mata-mata que antecede a fase de oitavas, em confronto que terminou 2 a 0 no agregado.
Diante de um adversário perigoso, Renato Gaúcho valorizou o resultado positivo fora de casa: “É lógico que o gol dá uma esperança maior para o América (o gol nos acréscimos), mas nos primeiros 90 minutos ganhamos aqui. Jogaremos mais 90 minutos, com a nossa torcida, e jogando por dois resultados”, avaliou ele.
Sequência da temporada do Fluminense
Antes do jogo de volta da Sul-Americana, o Tricolor Carioca enfrenta o Fortaleza de Renato Paiva no próximo sábado (16), às 16h (de Brasília), no Maracanã. No Brasileirão Série A, o Flu soma 24 pontos e ocupa a nona posição neste momento.
Na terça-feira (19), o desafio é a volta das oitavas de final contra o América de Cali, também no Rio de Janeiro, às 21h30. Depois da ótima vantagem construída na Colômbia, a equipe das Laranjeiras pode até empatar em casa para garantir vaga nas quartas do torneio continental.

‘He’s a Beast’: Hard-Charging Cam Skattebo Sparking The Revived Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jaxson Dart has lit a fire underneath the Giants’ franchise. But it’s Cam Skattebo that’s providing the spark.The rookie running back with a nose for contact has been the kind of lightning bolt that the Giants have been missing for a while. He showed his power again on Thursday night when he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants’ shocking, 34-17 upsets of the Philadelphia Eagles.But it’s not the numbers that have turned the 5-foot-10, 215-pound wrecking ball into an instant crowd favorite. It’s his powerful, hard-nosed, and maybe even reckless style where almost every run he has turns into a potential car wreck — one that he somehow always survives."He’s a beast," Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux told me after the game. "He’s a f—ing beast. He energizes. He’s a fighter. I […]
‘Dunne is a good fit’ – Red Bull boss drops hint over Irish star
With the dust having settled on McLaren's sudden release of Alex Dunne, Sky Sports F1 assess how the young Irish star becoming a free agent could impact the driver market.Ahead of last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, a McLaren announcement came from nowhere stating that the team had ended its contract with the 19-year-old, who had been part of their driver development programme for the last two years. Given his impressive F1 debut in Austrian Grand Prix practice in June and a solid showing this year in Formula 2, Dunne seemed an ideal candidate for McLaren to keep hold of in the event they were to lose either Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris at some point in the next few years.Therefore, attention quickly switched to what could have been behind the highly-rated Dunne's release, with it only being a matter of […]
