Dig at Filipe Luís? Bap reveals demand to Jardim: “No manager who…” | OneFootball

Bap said he has been talking internally with Leonardo Jardim about game plans

Leonardo Jardim arrived at Flamengo at the beginning of March to replace Filipe Luís, who was very successful at the club. With that in mind, Bap, president of Mengo, revealed how he has been working internally with the Portuguese coach to keep results at the highest level.

— When a coach comes to Flamengo, he knows the size of the madhouse he’s getting himself into. We are bipolar: if we concede one goal, it’s “everyone out”; if we draw, it’s already on the road to Tokyo. That bipolarity is inherent to the Flamengo fanbase. You become a hostage to your own success. And Leonardo Jardim knows that —, Bap began, in an interview with FlamengoTV this Friday (27).

— He (Jardim) has a very structured way of analyzing the game, in terms of the result, what was proposed, and what worked. We have a way of working, and that’s what I look for. I try to find out whether he is convinced about why Flamengo won. Because when you are convinced about why you won or lost, you will do better in the next game. It has been a pleasure working with him —, he added.

WHAT IS LEONARDO JARDIM’S CURRENT SITUATION?

Leonardo Jardim has managed Flamengo in five matches so far. During that span, there have been three wins and two draws. As a result, he won the Campeonato Carioca title against Fluminense, after a penalty shootout victory.

— He (Jardim) sets a high standard for his own work and for the players. We cannot have a coach at Flamengo who does not also have high personal standards. If he has a so-so standard, like “winning 1-0 is fine,” and there are some like that, you end up not connecting with the fans —, concluded the president of Flamengo.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the Brazilian Championship is paused due to the FIFA international window, Flamengo continues working internally with a focus on the upcoming matches. That way, the Rubro-Negro side will only return to action on April 2, against Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, in the Brasileirão.
