Fluminense has been in a mental decline since the FIFA Club World Cup.
They played two home matches. They lost to Cruzeiro in the first match and Palmeiras yesterday. They also lost 1-0 away to Flamengo.
They have lost three of their last three matches. Only Jhon Arias has left the team. I must say I'm surprised by Fluminense's decline.
Jhon Arias was a very important player for the team. Without him, Fluminense has zero efficiency on their offensive plays. I watched their last match against Palmeiras, and
inon the beginning of the game Fluminense was doing an excellent job, although they didn't manage to conclude any plays.
And after the penalty which was guaranteed to them, they lost stamina quite fast and were overcame by Palmeiras from the half of the game on. Also, it's worth mentioning the mistake of goalkeeper Fabio, who shouldn't let the first Palmeiras' goal to happen.
Highlights for Solteldo from Fluminense too for his excellent performance. Unfortunatelly, there wasn't anybody else to play cooperatively with him.
