Rio de Janeiro, 14 Mar Fluminense will travel to Asunción on Tuesday for the second leg of the final qualifying round of the Copa Libertadores against Paraguay's Olimpia, with the intention of sealing its qualification, prolonging its thirteen-match run unbeaten and forget the controversial sale of Luiz Henrique. The Rio de Janeiro team exercised this Monday and will do so again this Tuesday morning before heading to the Paraguayan capital for Wednesday's decisive match against the Dean, which they defeated 3-1 in the first leg. Two of the goals were scored by Argentine striker Germán Cano, who was voted “the best player of the week” by Libertadores fans, in a digital poll conducted on official Conmebol channels. The other was signed by Luiz Henrique and it was “the most beautiful of the week” for the fans of the South American tournament. Luiz Henrique, 21, is one of the promising young women of the Carioca team and is at the center of the controversy after the club has reached an agreement with Spanish Real Betis for its sale for about $14.2 million. The fans of the Tricolor de Rio mobilized on social networks to protest the low price for which the young attacker was negotiated, who will continue on the 'Flu' until the middle of this year, when he will join the Andalusian squad. In the midst of these criticisms, the president of Fluminense, Mario Bittencourt, appeared earlier this Monday in the media to explain the transfer of Luiz Henrique. “Our good times do not mean that we are not continuing in a process of financial reconstruction. Some measures are going to displease. I never said we were done paying off our debts. We have significant plots of players bought in the past, debt to FIFA... “, the leader justified himself. The club's delicate economic situation contrasts, however, with its good sporting moment. Fluminense, who has already won its first title of the season with the Guanabara Cup, has been undefeated for thirteen consecutive matches. The last time he was defeated was on January 27 against Bangu (0-1). Last Saturday, in his last rehearsal before facing Olimpia, he drew goalless against Boavista in a game without significance, in which coach Abel Braga started the less usual players. In this sense, everything indicates that the coach of 'Flu' will not speculate on Defensores del Chaco and will plant an eleven similar to that of the first leg. The 'Flu' is worth the draw or lose by up to one goal to guarantee their qualification to the Libertadores group stage. CHIEF cms/cav
