Fluminense Coach: We Have To Be Careful Vs Downs

Fluminense Head Coach Renato Gaucho

Fluminense head coach Renato Gaucho is expecting a 'difficult' clash against Mamelodi Sundowns in the FIFA Club World Cup.

It's all to play for in Group F at the Club World Cup as Masandawana, Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund all stand a chance to qualify for the last 16.

While Sundowns face Tricolor in their last game, Dortmund will play already-eliminated Ulsan HD. A win for Masandawana will be enough to qualify for the last 16.

Speaking ahead of the game, Gaucho reflected on his team's 4-2 win against Ulsan HD and was reportedly expecting a different challenge against Miguel Cardoso's troops, according to Terra Brasil.

"A difficult, very dangerous game," Gaucho said of Sundowns.

"We will prepare in the same way we have prepared since we arrived. We have to be as careful as we were against Borussia. Without the ball, we will take defensive precautions. With the ball, we will play and look for the goal," Gaucho added.

The Brazilian revealed his respect for the reigning Betway Premiership champions but added that he knew the quality his team possesses.

"We respect our opponents, but we know our potential. We will try to neutralize their main plays, but we will play looking for the goal," he concluded.
