Filipe Luís: Pyramids would finish near Mirassol in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo and Pyramids to decide spot in the Intercontinental final this Saturday (13), in Qatar

Coach Filipe Luís states that he always studies the opponents well before each match. The Brasileirão champion was questioned this Friday (12) about how Pyramids (EGI) would perform in the Brazilian championship.

— It's hard to predict where they would compete, because everyone would say, and I would too, that Mirassol would fight against relegation. But it was one of the best teams. The defensive phase of this team would be among the best in the Brazilian Championship -, analyzed Filipe Luís to add that:

— It makes it very difficult to break through this block, which is very organized and has very clear ideas about who should cover what. Only the best teams can score -, highlighted the Flamengo coach in a press conference.

Did Filipe Luís compare Pyramids to Mirassol?

The Flamengo coach meant to say that appearances can be deceiving. After all, Mirassol played the Brasileirão for the first time in 2025. However, the team from the interior had a better campaign, for example, than Corinthians and Neymar's Santos.

Where is Pyramids in the Egyptian championship?

Currently, Flamengo's opponent is in second place in their respective national league. Pyramids is two points behind Cerâmica Cleopatra (EGI), which has 29. The Egyptian championship is in the 14th of 21 rounds.

What is Flamengo's next match under Filipe Luís?

Flamengo faces Pyramids this Saturday (13) at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, in Doha, Qatar, starting at 2 PM (Brasília time). If victorious, Flamengo will face PSG (FRA) in the grand final of the World Cup next Wednesday (17).
