Germán Cano scored his 49th goal in the Fluminense shirt in 76 matches in the classic against Vasco, on Sunday (12).
The average of 0.64 goals per game is still below the 0.77 achieved with 75 in 97 games for Independiente Medellin between 2018 and 2019.
But it is greater than the 0.42 registered with 43 goals in 101 clashes for Vasco, between 2020 and 2021.
In the last five years, the Argentine has 167 goals in 274 games – an average of 0.60, with 33 goals per year
What few know is that Fluminense’s sixth-highest scorer of the century was about to play for Tricolor in 2020, before wearing Vasco’s shirt.
Cano was referred to Odair Hellmann by Ricardo Correa, a scout and market manager, whose team had seen him in action in Colombian League games.
In the 2019 season, he had scored 41 goals in 47 games for Independiente.
The coach had identified the need for a more experienced scorer to compete for the position with the newly promoted Evanilson.
As the young man would make his first season in the professionals, Odair called the market department to have indications that fit the budget.
And Cano, who would be released in December of that year, was a viable option, being hired in exchange for wages.
It turns out that Mário Bittencourt, the president of the club, worked secretly on the elaboration of the project for the return of the idol Fred.
And the theme left on stand by ended up being trampled by Vasco, with Alexandre Campello going to Buenos Aires to arrange the signing of the striker.
Cano played for two years in São Januário and started to wear the 14 tricolor in 2022, at the end of his agreement with Vasco da Gama.
He repeated the story lived with Dario Conca, brought to Vasco do Rosário Centrol at the end of 2006, after standing out for Universidad Católica, in Chile.
The Argentine midfielder arrived at Laranjeiras in 2008 and played for five seasons at Fluminense.
He scored 55 goals in 267 games, won the 2010 Brazilian Nationals and won the heart of the tricolors.
More or less as Germán Cano does it now…
