The Flamengo will need to overturn the disadvantage in the Recopa Sudamericana final after being defeated 1-0 in the first leg against Lanús (ARG). As such, Filipe Luís expressed discomfort after the setback in Argentina and mentioned the reason for his frustration.
— I was bothered because ever since I started competing, I have difficulty dealing with defeat. I work to try to improve, it's not the same press conference when you win and when you lose. I was bothered because I think I can always do better, that my tactics were wrong — started Filipe Luís, in a press conference.
— I torment myself a lot. This is my job. No one likes to lose, but we know we have to turn the page quickly. This group knows that and can play a great game on Thursday with the support of the fans — concluded the coach of Flamengo.
The Flamengo was unable to show good football against a Lanús in poor form this season. Thus, the team led by Filipe Luís ended up being defeated 1-0, with a goal by Rodrigo Castillo at the end of the match.
Therefore, the Flamengo will need to turn the situation around, as they are at a disadvantage. O Mais Querido will have to defeat the Argentinians by at least one goal to take the decision to penalties. If they win by two or more goals, they will be the champions of the Recopa Sudamericana.
The Flamengo faces Lanús this Thursday (26), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. Thus, the Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
