Luiz Araújo is one of Flamengo's options for the attack this Wednesday (17), against PSG (FRA)


Flamengo faces PSG (FRA) this Wednesday (17), in the grand final of the Club World Cup. For Luiz Araújo, the red-and-black striker, the team will need to double its defensive attention against their opponent, but under Filipe Luís' command, they do not intend to change their style of play.

— I think Botafogo's match against Paris Saint-Germain was a different competition, totally different. That was a group stage game, now it will be a final. It's a very studied game, a very tight game, we know that. I think that, as Filipe (Luís) always played, we are not going to change our way of playing, he said before continuing:

— Of course we know we have to be a bit more attentive, because on the other side are the best players in the world. So we are going to play the same way we always do, but with a bit more intelligence in defense, we can't make mistakes. And I'm sure we'll play a great game and, God willing, come out with this victory, which is the dream of the whole Nation, he concluded.
