Rene, a former Flamengo and Internacional player, did not cause much enthusiasm from Tricolore fans when he signed at the beginning of the year. Away from the spotlight, the 33-year-old left-back gradually rose through the ranks and eventually took over the starting berth. Under coach Luis Zverdia, he has shown that he is more than an experienced defender and can also help set up plays.
As a builder’s winger, Rene distinguished himself by passing between the lines to midfielders and midfielders. Proof of this is his relationship with the creative Lucho Acosta, which has already resulted in goals and dangerous chances. As soon as the number 6 advances with the ball, the Argentine player tries to remove the marker in the center of the field in order to get a wider view of his teammates in front of him.
In addition to the importance of breaking down the opponent’s defense, Rene is also one of the players responsible for the team’s set pieces. Although he didn’t have an assist so far, the left-back scored a free kick in the 1-0 win over Ceará in the Maracana in the Brazilian Championship. Before that, he had scored in the first round match against Corinthians in Sao Paulo. At that time, the team was still led by Renato Gaucho.
After the FIFA schedule, Fluminense will return to the field in a classic match against Flamengo on the 19th at 9:30 pm in the Maracanã. The Tricolore, in seventh place with 51 points, closed out the Group of 5 Brazilian Championship with a two lead over Bahia, guaranteeing a direct place in the 2026 Libertadores.
Returning to yesterday’s activities, the team will train as usual until Saturday, but will have Sunday off.
— Everyone might want to save time during a FIFA match. Of course, we need to work on it for a few more days, but what we have to do is let the players recover from the whole sequence from which they came, Argentina coach Luis Zuberdia stressed.
