The weight of receiving the status of the most expensive signing in Fluminense's history, moving to a different country for the first time in his career, and arriving at the elite of Brazilian football are some of the reasons that explain why Rodrigo Castillo is going through difficulties and has yet to make his mark at the tricolor. Internally, the view is that the 27-year-old Argentine really does have difficulty adapting to a major club in Brazil and dealing with fan criticism. Being more introverted, he took time to connect with his own teammates in the club's daily life.
Coach Luis Zubeldía approved the signing of his compatriot, formerly from Lanús-ARG, but Marcão hasn't used him since being appointed as permanent coach. Finally, the time has come for Castillo to show his worth in the match against Atlético-MG today at 4 PM at Arena MRV in the Brazilian Championship.
The opportunity arises because Hulk has a contractual agreement not to face his former club, and Cano suffered a thigh injury and is expected to return only after the international break. With this, Castillo gets his chance to prove he was worth Fluminense's multimillion-dollar investment and to step out of the shadows at the Brazilian club.
