Fluminense defeated Gremio 2 x 1, on Tuesday (12/2), at the Arena Stadium, in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the victory, Rio coach Luis Zubeldia commented on the first victory as the visitor in charge of the team.
“It was important to win here, not only because of the possibility of finishing higher in the table, but because we needed to win as a visitor. Since I arrived here, we have not won as a visitor. We have played good matches, but I always say that to beat the visitor you have to be strong and defend well,” said the coach.

Sotildo scored two goals in the match and the captain praised his performance in the match. According to Zubeldia, the striker did a complete job, highlighting his goals and defensive participation.
“I think Sotildo did a very complete job because, on the one hand, he scored goals, and on the other hand, he took care of the ball. Moreover, he sacrificed a lot defensively, sometimes forming a line of five, and stealing the ball. Therefore, he played a very complete match,” the coach concluded.
