Filipe Luís admits Flamengo dip in form on eve of Copa Libertadores final | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras compete in the Libertadores final on November 29

Flamengo made the most of the 'home factor' and defeated Santos 3-2 this Sunday (09), in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. In a press conference, coach Filipe Luís admitted that the team lost some concepts worked on during the club's daily routine.

— We really need training time. Unfortunately, we will have many players called up, players who won't be in these training sessions. Because I need to recover behaviors and concepts that have been lost in these last games — he said, before concluding:

— Today, at certain moments of the game, I don't recognize myself when I see the team breaking apart or speeding up the game as it was mainly in the first half. I urgently need time to train to recover these concepts and have the team play the way I want — concluded Filipe Luís.

Will Flamengo have absences during the FIFA Date?

Flamengo will have a week of training during the FIFA Date but will not be able to count on seven players. Danilo and Alex Sandro were called up by the Brazilian National Team, while Gonzalo Plata will defend Ecuador. Finally, Carrascal was called by Colombia, and Arrascaeta, Varela, and Viña will represent Uruguay.
