What else did Filipe Luís say about Flamengo's performances?


Flamengo defeated Madureira 3-0 this Sunday (22), but did not convince some Flamengo fans. Filipe Luís, in fact, admitted in a press conference that he is partly to blame for the poor performances of the team this season.

— When you see Flamengo not performing with the squad it has, it's the coach's responsibility. Whether it's Filipe or someone else. It's the coach's responsibility to make the team play. No one is racking their brains more than I am to make that team play at its peak again. Today I see it as more of a mental issue, and that worsens the performance. My job is to restore their confidence and level -, he said.

Why did Flamengo's fans boo the team?

Recently, Flamengo even managed important victories, such as the 2-1 against Botafogo, in the quarter-finals of the Carioca. However, despite the wins, the Most Beloved has not been showing good football, being criticized by the Flamengo fans.

This Sunday (22), Flamengo's fans took the opportunity to boo the players before the match against Madureira started. Furthermore, during the halftime, the fans protested again at Maracanã. Finally, the fans shouted “Thursday is war” at the end of the match.

What is Flamengo's next match?

The match on Thursday (26) is against Lanús (ARG), for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The game is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast on ESPN, on cable, and Disney+ on streaming.
