Filipe Luís won the main titles with Flamengo in the 2025 season. However, the coach is already looking ahead to the next year. Not surprisingly, the commander sent a message to the players and revealed the club's main challenge for 2026.

— My big challenge for next year, if I'm here, of course, is first for the players to come with the same hunger they had this year. If they don't have hunger, football is very fast, it waits for no one. A player without hunger doesn't stay on the field -, he said, before concluding:

— This is my main challenge for next year, because the tactical variations, the way of playing, Flamengo already knows. Everyone already knows the game model by heart. The rest depends on the hunger the players have -, he concluded.
