Cano is close to equaling Fred’s important mark in Fluminense
Make the L, tricolor crowd! Since arriving at
Fluminense
, Germán Cano is going through an enlightened phase and has excited the crowd with goals and a lot of dedication on the field. It has become the ideal replacement for
idol Fred
, who said goodbye to the pitch on the 9th, with a party at Maracanã. This trend can also be proven in numbers.
+ Lethal duo from Fluminense participates in more than half of goals in the year
A born scorer, Cano is enjoying his best moment in Brazilian football and has already scored the net on 28 occasions, eleven of them in the Brasileirão. Thus, he is six goals away from equaling the best mark of the idol Fred with the tricolor shirt in just one season.

The eternal number 9 scored 34 goals in 2011 and reached his best mark.
Thus, Cano will have at least 22 matches to match or even surpass the mark. There are 20 rounds left for the end of the Brasileirão, and Fluminense will have two more matches for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. If he reaches the decision, he will be able to play four more games.
In the two years he defended Vasco’s colors, the Argentine was also the team’s top scorer. In 2020, he netted 24 times, an impressive number for a team that failed to avoid relegation at the end of the season. The following year, in the Serie B dispute, there were 19 goals and again the top of the club’s top scorers list.

Cano’s importance goes beyond the goals scored, as he has four assists. Along with Jhon Arias, he is responsible for 56.25% of the balls in the team’s net so far, according to numbers released by Lance!
The gringos had, so far, 45 participations in 80 Tricolor goals in 2022.
There is still no comparison between Cano and Fred with the Fluminense shirt, and it would even be unfair to try to elaborate on it. the former striker wrote a beautiful story worthy of a book that made the hearts of the tricolors flutter faster. There were remarkable achievements, unforgettable stories and an end that not even the most optimistic would have dreamed of – a goal in the penultimate game and a grandiose party at the farewell.

The synergy between Fluminense, Cano and Fernando Diniz has vibrated stronger in 2022. The Argentine already feels at home and this is reflected on the field. The style of play adopted by the coach has fit perfectly with the striker, who needs few touches and chances to score. Both worked together at Vasco, in another context, which makes the dialogue even easier.
The marriage between the two has filled the tricolor fan with hope for titles and more prominence in competitions. There are already nine unbeaten matches, and the team is strong in both competitions – fourth in the Brasileirão and in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

The trend is for Cano to surpass the tricolor idol mark and it will be even tastier if he comes with a title – but he can also come with a long-term job. Even more so now that Fernando Diniz didn’t even want to listen to Atlético-MG’s poll and reiterated his affection and gratitude for the club and fans and strengthened the project.
