Filipe Luís explains Flamengo’s performance, links it to a team error | OneFootball

Filipe Luís mentioned collective errors during the game against Lanús (ARG), in Argentina

Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) 1-0 last Thursday (19), away from home, in the first match of the South American Recopa. After the match, coach Filipe Luís commented on the inconsistency of the red-black team during the confrontation in Argentina.

— We weren't sharp with the ball. The field was dry, it was very windy, the players didn't feel comfortable. It was the opponent's merit. The attacking movements didn't work because we were always uncomfortable with the ball at our feet —, began Filipe Luís.

— And there's also the fact that our team lacked depth, which made us lose the ball more, because they were uncomfortable even putting an extra player in the middle, which was Carrascal, we couldn't generate that superiority. The players lost confidence as the match went on, which led us to suffer. Now we need to try to adjust and understand the context of the game. It's never easy to play in Argentina, it never has been, but the fans are right, the performance was below par —, concluded the Flamengo coach.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo couldn't maintain the same pace throughout the 90 minutes of the game against Lanús, at Estadio La Fortaleza. As a result, the Argentine team came out on top. Rodrigo Castilho scored the only goal at the end of the second half. Thus, the Most Beloved will need to overturn the result at Maracanã.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Therefore, Flamengo now sets aside the South American Recopa to focus on the Campeonato Carioca. This is because the red-black team faces Madureira on Sunday (22), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the first leg of the tournament's semifinal.
