Rede Globo defines special programming for the game between Fluminense x Al Hilal

Fluminense takes to the field this Friday (July 4th), at 4pm (Brasília time), against Al Hilal, in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. The match will be played at Camping World Stadium, in Orlando, with broadcast by CazéTV and Disney+, in addition to coverage by TV Globo and sportv.

After eliminating Inter Milan with a 2-0 victory, the team led by Renato Gaúcho should keep the same core team as the previous one. The only confirmed change is the entry of Fuentes in place of Renê, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. With that, Fluminense should take to the field with: Fábio; Ignacio, Freytes and Thiago Silva; Samuel Xavier, Bernal (or Hércules), Martinelli, Nonato and Fuentes; Arias and Cano.

Although he did not reveal which formation he would adopt, Renato indicated that the tactical choice was based on an analysis of the opponent's playing style, which has counter-attacking as its main strength. "I watched their game against City, analyzed it well and, in that way, I tried to set up my team," explained the coach.

Renato also highlighted his confidence in his players and revealed that he constantly talks to them before defining the system. "We have two or three systems, we brought two from Brazil. We played the last game with three defenders. The system I put together for tomorrow is the one I think we can do best," he said.

Even with the mystery surrounding the starting team, the tricolor commander showed optimism, albeit cautiously: "I don't know if it will work out or not. We always try to train to neutralize our opponents in the best way possible," he concluded.

The winner of the duel between Fluminense and Al Hilal will face whoever advances from Palmeiras x Chelsea, a match scheduled for the same Friday (July 4th), at 10 pm (Brasília time).
