"Doesn’t reflect the truth": Filipe Luís hits back at Flamengo critics | OneFootball

Flamengo conceded a goal due to Rossi's mistake, who redeemed himself in penalties

Despite losing 1-0 in regular time, coach Filipe Luís highlighted that Flamengo was superior to Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) on Thursday (25). On that occasion, the teams faced each other at the UNO Stadium, in Argentina, for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

— Did Flamengo play poorly? I could say that Flamengo did not show what you are used to seeing, much due to the merit of Estudiantes, who managed to bother us, but we had full control of the match in the first half -, highlighted Filipe Luís, in a press conference, to add that:

— We had possession, we reached the opponent's area many times, however, the final pass was not coming out. But to say that Estudiantes was superior does not match the truth. So much so that we spent the entire second half there trying to pressure them in the area. We couldn't make progress in this final third and we need to improve -, the coach points out.

What happened in Flamengo x Estudiantes?

What is Flamengo's next game?

Flamengo, at the moment, leaves the Libertadores 'aside' and returns to focus on the Brasileirão dispute. This Sunday (28), Filipe Luís' team visits Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round of the national championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, Record (open channel) and Cazé TV (YouTube) broadcast the match between Flamengo and Corinthians.
