Flamengo champion criticises Filipe Luís's lack of organisation | OneFootball

Flamengo lost their second title dispute in 2026 after falling to Lanús (ARG)

The crisis at Flamengo is currently the main topic in sports media. That's because, in just two months, the Rubro-Negro has lost two titles. According to former player Paulo Nunes, the reason for the poor performance is the disorganization under Filipe Luís at the helm of the Most Beloved.

— It was very clear that the organization Flamengo had last season is far from existing now. The defense, the midfielders, up front. There's a lot of talk that nowadays football doesn't have 11 starters, it has a squad, but the team needs organization — highlighted Paulo Nunes, who added:

— When you start changing things too much, you lose tactical understanding and confidence. Speaking of names: Cebolinha had been one of the best at Flamengo, then the coach took him out. Pedro hasn't had a run of games for some time now — stated the former striker revealed by the Most Beloved.

What is the context of Paulo Nunes' comment?

The Rubro-Negro lost to Lanús (ARG) in extra time of the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana by 3-2. Among the negative highlights, Filipe Luís lined up Fla without Pedro or Bruno Henrique, as he chose to keep Plata and Samuel Lino in the team.

Is Paulo Nunes a champion with Flamengo?

The 1992 Brazilian Championship had Maestro Júnior as its protagonist. However, Fla also had the young Paulo Nunes, who became a starter during the Brasileirão. Later on, however, the Rubro-Negro sold the player to Grêmio.

What is Flamengo's next match?

To try to bounce back, the Most Beloved faces Madureira this Monday (02). The second leg of the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca sees the Rubro-Negro holding a three-goal advantage.

Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, which kicks off at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The broadcast of the game, however, is on SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
