Filipe Luís warns of Cruz Azul’s main threat v Flamengo | OneFootball

Which Cruz Azul (MEX) player was chosen by Filipe Luís, Flamengo’s coach?

Coach Filipe Luís gave an analysis of Cruz Azul (MEX), Flamengo’s first opponent in the Intercontinental. In a press conference, the rubro-negro manager praised the rival’s midfield and, in addition, identified Lorenzo Favarelli as the most dangerous player on the opposing team for this Wednesday’s match (10).

— Of course I analyze the individual aspect, but I try to focus much more on structures. For me, Cruz Azul’s differential is in the midfield. They have midfielders with a lot of quality and mobility, who are always available to play. Faravelli is a decisive player -, said Filipe Luís at a press conference this Tuesday (09), in Doha, Qatar.

WHAT IS CRUZ AZUL’S SITUATION IN THE INTERCONTINENTAL?

After winning the Brasileirão and the Libertadores, coach Filipe Luís has already started planning for the Intercontinental tournament. Their first opponent will be Cruz Azul, who are the current Concacaf champions.

Even with this achievement, the Mexican team is not coming in at their best moment. That’s because, on Saturday (06), Cruz Azul suffered a ‘cold shower’ after losing to Tigres (MEX) and, as a result, being eliminated from the national championship.

HOW IS FLAMENGO PREPARING FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL?

Flamengo arrives at full strength in Doha, Qatar. Thus, the tendency is for Filipe Luís to maintain the core squad that won two titles at the end of this season. The only doubt remains regarding the return of Pedro, who is still recovering from a muscle injury.

WHEN IS THE FLAMENGO VS CRUZ AZUL MATCH?

The match between Flamengo and Cruz Azul takes place at 2:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (10), in Qatar. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide detailed coverage of the match with on-site reporting on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (broadcast TV), CazéTV, and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
