Eric Faria highlights Filipe Luís’ mistakes, slams Flamengo’s performance | OneFootball

Eric Faria mentioned Flamengo’s underwhelming football under Filipe Luís

Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) 1-0 last Thursday (19th) and fell behind in the Recopa Sudamericana final. After the match, journalist Eric Faria criticized the performance of the red-and-black team and pointed out shortcomings in Filipe Luís’s squad.

— Another very poor performance, and this time in a super important match. Even though it was the first leg of the Recopa, it’s still a final. I thought the team was tactically very confused, and that had a direct impact on individual performances. Several players performed well below what we know they are capable of — he began.

— Vitão, every time he played, came in well. But Léo Ortiz did not. He’s a great defender, a Brazilian National Team player, but he’s not managing to contribute. Physically, he’s being beaten in some duels with great ease. Luiz Araújo, who’s coming off a period of inactivity, played a few minutes against Botafogo and today became a starter. Flamengo was left without a reference up front. Bruno Henrique, who started on Sunday, didn’t even come on today — highlighted Eric Faria.

WHAT’S THE SITUATION?

Flamengo took the field last Thursday (19th), in Argentina, against Lanús, for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. However, the red-and-black team couldn’t put on a good display and lost 1-0.

In addition, Flamengo had a below-par start to the Campeonato Carioca and only qualified in the final round. In the Brasileirão, Mengo sits in 11th place, with only four points from three matches played.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo now turns its focus to the final stretch of the Campeonato Carioca. That’s because the team led by Filipe Luís faces Madureira this Sunday (22nd), at 8:30pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the first leg of the State Championship semifinal.
