Filipe Luís blames culprit for Flamengo’s Carioca loss to Fluminense | OneFootball

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Carioca?

Flamengo suffered another defeat in the Carioca this Sunday (25), losing 2-1 to Fluminense in the fourth round of the State Championship. After the defeat in the classic, coach Filipe Luís revealed that the lack of training was decisive for the negative result for Mengão.

— Today was a game that lacked identity in that sense (Flamengo without a full squad), even in the substitutions. It was a balanced game, we had chances to open the score, they did too and ended up scoring first — he said, before concluding:

— From then on, they gained a lot of confidence, managed to score the second goal from a corner. But it was a balanced game, decided by the smallest details, which we need to train. Maybe (we lost) due to lack of training — Filipe Luís concluded.

How was the Flamengo vs Fluminense match?

Heavy rains in Rio de Janeiro interrupted the classic for more than 40 minutes, due to puddles that covered the Maracanã pitch. As soon as the match resumed, Fluminense had possession, but Flamengo threatened with a disallowed goal by Carrascal.

Moreover, even with Filipe Luís’s changes at halftime, Flamengo conceded two goals due to defensive errors. The Rubro-Negro tried to react with a header goal by Everton Cebolinha after an assist from Vitão, but the effort was not enough to avoid defeat at the Maracanã.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now ‘turns the page’ and begins to focus on the debut of the Brazilian Championship. This Wednesday (28), Filipe Luís’s team faces São Paulo at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at MorumBIS.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and São Paulo, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
