The club's players have been paying tribute to Angioni, who worked at Fluminense for many years and was a close friend to the team. In an interview after the team's qualification for the Libertadores semifinals, striker Marcão dedicated the victory to Angioni, saying: "We played for him." The team will now focus on their upcoming matches, with Marcão stating that they will "continue until the end" and "play for the family of Paulo." Angioni had been battling pancreatic cancer since September and was remembered by the players during a private ceremony at the club's headquarters.
