Diego Ribas hails Filipe Luís, offers coach advice pre-Flamengo v Racing | OneFootball

What did Diego Ribas say about the Flamengo vs Racing (ARG) match?

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (22) to face Racing (ARG) in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. Former captain of Mengão and current commentator, Diego Ribas, commented on the match and gave a tip about the red-black squad.

— Flamengo has a coach who is doing a great job, has experienced players, with a lot of quality and background. It's about having boldness, personality, maintaining the identity, intensity that they have shown in the games, and overcoming any challenge with a lot of passion — said Diego, in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

How is Flamengo doing?

Flamengo has a confirmed absence to face Racing: Everton Cebolinha. The forward suffered a hip injury in a classic match against Botafogo and is under the care of the Medical Department of Mengão.

Additionally, Léo Ortiz is a doubt for coach Filipe Luís for the match. The defender suffered a sprain in his right ankle but underwent intensive treatment to be able to play against Racing. Thus, the decision to include the player is in the hands of the red-black coach.

When is the return match?

After the first match this Wednesday (22), Flamengo and Racing will face each other again on October 29. On that occasion, the match will take place at Estadio Presidente Perón, ‘El Cilindro’, in Avellaneda.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Diego Ribas watching as a fan, Flamengo faces Racing this Wednesday (22). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Racing match.
