Filipe Luís on rare moment that led Flamengo to thrash Vitória | OneFootball

Flamengo steamrolled Vitória with an 8-0 victory at Maracanã

The big controversy in recent days has been the change in the Brazilian football calendar. As a result, Flamengo will have fewer weeks to work as they had imagined after their fall in the Copa do Brasil. On this Monday (25), Mengão steamrolled Vitória with an 8-0 victory after four days without matches. For coach Filipe Luís, the situation was decisive for the good performance.

— The club has already positioned itself and I prefer not to comment on the subject (of the calendar change). Players with four days of rest fly, after three in three days they can't perform. This has not yet been demonstrated, it will be demonstrated one day and it will change. I am absolutely sure that, scientifically, it will be demonstrated that the player needs four days to fully recover, so it won't be this year —, said Filipe Luís.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO'S 'REST'?

Before facing Vitória, Flamengo had faced Internacional on Wednesday (20). Therefore, with this match on the 25th, Rubro-Negro had time to recover energy as coach Filipe Luís deems necessary, which is four days of rest.

HOW WAS FLAMENGO'S ROUT OVER VITÓRIA?

Just two minutes into the game, Flamengo was already leading 2-0, with goals from Samuel Lino and Pedro. Arrascaeta scored the third before halftime. However, Mengão accelerated even more in the second half. Pedro (twice), Lino, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique closed the scoring.

IS THERE ANOTHER ROUT COMING?

If with four days of rest Flamengo did what they did, it's better for the fan of Grêmio to worry. After all, the Most Beloved returns to the field only on Sunday (31), at 4pm (Brasília time), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match on the website, social media and on YouTube.
