It’s time to kill the longing. After being away from Maracanã for almost a month, Fluminense returns home on Sunday to face Cuiabá, at 4 pm (Brasilia time). The team had not played at the stadium since Fred’s farewell, in the 2-1 victory over Ceará, and should see their fans repeat the good crowd, something that seems to have become a trend: this should be the fourth match in a row with more of 40 thousand fans at Maraca.

In addition to the game against Ceará, which had an audience of almost 64,000 people, Fluminense also put more than 40,000 fans at Maracanã in the 4-0 rout over Corinthians, with almost 45,000 in attendance, and in the victory over Cruzeiro by 2 to 1, for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, with 46 thousand tricolors in the stadium.
“It’s our home, closer to the fans, a different environment. Of course we miss playing there,” said Arias last Tuesday.
In a press conference last Thursday, Ganso also spoke about the lack of Maracanã for the players. The midfielder highlighted the importance of the warmth of the crowd, but also highlighted the strategic issue of using home games as an asset to grow even more in the Brasileirão.
– I miss Maracanã, being close to our fans, despite going to Volta Redonda. The last games were decisive. Let it reach 50, 60 thousand. We have a very long payback. If we continue this unbeaten record, making our score at home, we can reach the high point of the table, which is our goal – said Ganso last Thursday.
