Libertadores: Filipe Luís fired up, Danilo apologises after | OneFootball

Flamengo released behind-the-scenes video of the Libertadores final this Thursday (04)

One title after another. Flamengo won the Brasileirão this Wednesday (03), but is still publishing content related to the Libertadores victory. This Thursday (04), the club released the behind-the-scenes footage of the final in Lima, against Palmeiras, including images from the locker rooms before and after the match.

Before the ball rolled, Filipe Luís, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique asked to speak. “Want to win, want to show it. Celebrate, celebrate every ball you recover. Celebrate. Spread the energy. Shut them down, shut their team down. Today is the day I feel most at ease. Because when there’s a big game, it’s for big players,” shouted the coach.

— The trophy isn’t on my mind, the photographer isn’t on my mind, my family isn’t on my mind. It’s not! What’s on my mind is the game, the ball. Every ball we’re going to win, as a team. We went through everything to be here —, added the coach, telling the team to forget about “photos with the trophy” at the end of the match.

AND WHAT DID FLAMENGO’S CAPTAINS SAY?

Current captains of the Flamengo squad, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique also gave words of encouragement to the team. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. Nothing is more important than the group. Today, let’s do it for our teammates,” cheered the Uruguayan number 10.

— Today, this team here is to make history. It’s to enter Flamengo’s history. It’s for the fourth title, there’s a lot at stake. Look at what everyone did to be here. Everyone gave their all for us to be here, in the biggest Libertadores final. Let’s think, guys, about what’s at stake. Today we’re going to make history —, predicted Bruno Henrique.

IS DANILO FORGIVEN, NATION?

The behind-the-scenes video published by Flamengo wasn’t limited to the pre-game. The club also released footage from after the match. In the locker room, Danilo, who scored the goal for the fourth title, jokingly apologized to the squad, making everyone burst out laughing.

“I hope that, with this goal, you’ve forgiven me for the red card against Bahia,” recalled the player, who was sent off against the Salvador team in the Brasileirão. On that occasion, Flamengo was a man down from the first half and lost 1–0.

IS THERE ANOTHER SPECIAL VIDEO COMING, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo fans are waiting for the video of the ninth championship and dreaming of the production for the second world title, after all. Thus, on Wednesday (10), the Rubro-Negro will debut in the Intercontinental Cup against Cruz Azul, from Mexico, starting at 2 p.m. (Brasília time), in Qatar.
