Filipe Luís has become the center of attention in the international sports media after leading Flamengo to victory in the Brasileirão. This is because the 1-0 win over Ceará this Wednesday (03) at Maracanã confirmed the team’s excellent form and extended the momentum that had already been building from the Libertadores.
The reaction in Europe was immediate, especially in Spain, where newspapers highlighted the maturity of Flamengo under the leadership of the former full-back. Among these outlets, ‘Diario As’ called Filipe Luís ‘historic’ and ‘King of Brazil’, reinforcing the admiration for the coach’s impact.
— Filipe Luís makes history! Flamengo ends the year with an unprecedented double in the coach’s second season at Maracanã. The lone goal by Samu Lino in the first half secured the Brazilian Championship title for the red-and-black team. Filipe has established himself as the most sought-after coach on the continent. In just 14 months, he has won everything, both nationally and internationally, with the Copa Libertadores being the cherry on top, won just a few days ago -, said AS, before adding:
Filipe is unique. Little remains of the Flamengo he joined just over a year ago. A team adrift, a chaotic management system with four coaches in two seasons and countless failed bets. The board did not hesitate to bet on a rookie like Filipe. He showed potential in the youth divisions, but exceeded all expectations. Filipe is the ‘King’ of Brazil.
Furthermore, many outlets emphasized that Samuel Lino’s goal symbolized the strength of the campaign and reinforced the player’s connection with the Spanish market. Finally, international analyses highlighted the direct impact of the forward in the final stretch of Flamengo’s season.
