Flamengo aims to continue Filipe Luís' successful work and maintain the consolidated core of the squad

Flamengo concluded 2025 with an extremely successful season and begins a new year by maintaining the core of the squad. Filipe Luís highlights that the players have assimilated the style of play after a period of repetition and adjustments, which supports the work even under the pressure of the games.

— The importance is that the players know what I like and ask of them. They know what they have to do on the field. For a year and a few months, I've been asking for the same thing, with specific adjustments according to the game plan. The other day it got dark during training, and I said we didn't need light because the players know how to position themselves on the field without light; we could have trained -, he began

— This is something I like to tell them. They feel it, recognize the solutions we train, and provide the solutions to the coach. This makes me very happy. That's why I'm very honored to continue leading this group and sitting in this chair, which is the one with the most pressure in the world -, concluded Filipe Luís, in a press conference after the victory over Vasco, this Wednesday (21).
