Filipe Luís slams Barradão pitch, cites Flamengo’s key error vs Vitória | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated Vitória in the third round of the Brasileirão at Barradão, in Bahia

The team from Rio de Janeiro beat the team from Bahia in the red-and-black duel on Tuesday (11). Despite the 2-1 scoreline, however, Filipe Luís highlighted the poor quality of the Barradão pitch and also praised Vitória's performance in the third round of the Brasileirão.

— We train all sectors together, but we have separate training sessions where we go through all the content, our evolution is collective. Our refinement in the Maracanã game (Sampaio Corrêa-RJ) was better, but most were not here today -, highlighted Filipe Luís to add:

— As I said, the pitch today was not in the best condition, the opponent pressured us and it was difficult to get out, and then we couldn't get out, which pushed us into our area. We did well in the first half, but we conceded the goal at our best moment in the second half -, he stated in a press conference.
