Filipe Luís defends player, makes promise on Flamengo future | OneFootball

What did Filipe Luís say about Samuel Lino's current moment at Flamengo?

The coach Filipe Luís gave a press conference after Flamengo's victory over Palmeiras in the Brasileirão. In one of the questions, the coach spoke about the current moment of Samuel Lino, the forward for Mengão.

— Lino continues to have my trust. As I said in my last press conference, you all focus on what the player does with the ball at his feet, the number of dribbles he makes, but I look at much more in a player. He delivers a lot for the team. I know he's not at his best moment with the ball at his feet, but these moments pass quickly –, he said, before concluding:

— He likes to train, likes to work, he focuses, takes care of himself, he rests, and I have no doubt that when he plays a good game, the confidence will return as well, and we will see the Lino that we all saw at the beginning when he was signed –, concluded Filipe Luís.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH SAMUEL LINO AT FLAMENGO?

Samuel Lino arrived in the last transfer window to further strengthen the offensive system of Flamengo. It is worth noting that the forward is the most expensive signing in the club's history.

The start of Samuel Lino's journey at Flamengo was overwhelming, with goals and assists. However, at this moment, the forward has been inconsistent in some games, but even so, he remains a starter in Filipe Luís's team.
