Fluminense player Guga discusses Luis Zubeldía's departure

Fluminense player Guga has commented on the recent departure of head coach Luis Zubeldía, noting that while the group held the Argentine coach in high regard, the team needed a change to break a losing streak.

Speaking at a press conference, the right-back explained that the primary impact of the coaching change has been a shift in the squad's energy rather than immediate tactical adjustments. Following an eight-game winless run, the team secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Palmeiras under interim manager Marcão.

Guga emphasized that the change in leadership provided the necessary psychological boost for the squad. The victory comes at a critical time as Fluminense prepares for a decisive second-leg match against Independiente Rivadavia in the Copa Libertadores.
