Nothing like an elastic victory after a painful elimination to regain confidence in football. Fluminense’s 4-0 win over Coritiba for Brasileirão, four days after their elimination from the Copa do Brasil, showed a quick reaction from the group led by coach Odair Hellmann.
However, the way the scoreboard was built, with ups and downs during the 90 minutes, shows that the team still needs to have more consistency during games, especially if they want to face stronger teams and fight at the top of the championship. . With the victory, the team climbed to 7th position with 14 points.

First, it is necessary to make some considerations to analyze the match played at the Nilton Santos stadium on Monday night. It should be noted that Flu attended the match with nine Covid-19 absences, among athletes from the main group and from the Under-23, four of them starting or competing for a place in the team (Luccas Claro, Calegari, Luiz Henrique and Marcos Paulo ). , in addition to absences like Digão and Yuri, due to injury.
Another factor is that the group and the coach were pressured by the disappointing elimination of Atlético-GO in the Copa do Brasil last Thursday. It is necessary to remember to emphasize the weakness of the opponent. Recently promoted to Serie A, Coritiba is one of the most technically limited teams in this Brasileirão.
With that said, let’s get to the game. The expressive scoreboard may indicate that Fluminense was very calm to win the match. But that is not exactly what happened.
Tricolor, it should be noted, was an excellent start to the game. He opened the scoring just in the 7th minute with a great goal from Michel Araújo, maintained the intensity despite the advantage and almost reached second twice, with Nino, at 13, and with Wellington Silva, at 17.

After Nenê’s corner kick, Nino headed freely and the ball went very close to Wilson’s right crossbar, on 13 of the 1st.

However, he took off in the second half of the early stage and let Coritiba grow in the game. Until then harmless, the Paraná team almost tied at 29 with Matheus Bueno and lost an absolutely incredible opportunity at 41, with Robson.

This scenario continued after the break. At 9 minutes, Robson himself hit the post. However, everything changed after 15 minutes. The contested Felippe Cardoso, who had just taken Fred’s place, received a good quick pass, took it from the goalkeeper and made the second. The goal demobilized Coritiba and brought tranquility to Flu, who set the pace again and built the win, with Nino at 26 and Ganso, from a penalty, at 40.

It was a game that served to give confidence to players who were disputed or were in a bad phase, like Muriel and Nino. It also served to close long goal fasts with names like Ganso and Felippe Cardoso. In addition to providing opportunities for alternatives, such as Danilo Barcelos on the left side, to show service. The former Botafogo, even, gave more security to the sector than the competitor Egídio.
On the other hand, it is necessary that the elastic marker does not deceive Odair, players and fans. Obviously, it is almost impossible to maintain the intensity and control of the game during the 90 minutes, especially with this crazy sequence of games. However, it is clear that the team still needs to evolve in various aspects if it wants to fight at the top of the table at the Brasileirão, the last remaining competition of the season.
The lack of intensity in the first fight with veterans Nenê (39 years old) and Fred (36 years old) hinders marking strategies under pressure. The lack of mobility of the jersey 9 in the attack restricts the plays in depth only from the wings. Going back to the defensive part, as Wellington Silva and Michel Araújo have very offensive roles, the second line of scoring turns and plays is sparsely populated, with only Dodi and Hudson. The latter, by the way, has had trouble keeping up with the schedule and making the covers.

Situations that provoke the flu have some difficulty creating in the front and become a bit more vulnerable in the back. Against a more qualified opponent, the team could probably have suffered more during the game, running the risk of not scoring as favorably as it did.
Next Sunday, Fluminense will return to Nilton Santos, this time to face the owner of the house, Botafogo. A great opportunity to show that the result of this Monday was not accidental and that the Tricolor can achieve the consistency necessary to be competitive in the Brasileirão.
