It is happening,” said Fluminense manager Renato Gaúcho as he reflected on the performances of the Brazilian teams at the Club World Cup . With Fluminense , Palmeiras, Botafogo and Flamengo all on their way to the last 16, Renato said that Brazilian football and people should be “very proud” of what their clubs have done in the US.The results in the group stage were impressive.
