Filipe Luís: Flamengo outplayed Grêmio, deserved better | OneFootball

Flamengo's coach disqualifies the penalty against Flamengo and points out injustice in the score

The Flamengo opened the score against Grêmio, but conceded a draw in a penalty at the end of the match, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. After the confrontation at Maracanã, however, coach Filipe Luís showed dissatisfaction with the draw and highlighted the dominance of the Rubro-Negro.

— Brazilian football is very difficult, the Brasileirão is difficult. It was a game we deserved to win, we deserved a better result. Unfortunately, it didn't come. Lift your head and think about the next one -, stated the coach of Flamengo after the draw.

What else did Filipe Luís say?

Filipe Luís added that Grêmio didn't even bother goalkeeper Rossi before the penalty. However, the rubro-negro commander also believes that the penalty play was harmless and, therefore, Flamengo was not at risk at all.

— We controlled almost all (the launches), even the penalty from Ayrton. Nothing was going to happen, it was a ball that was going backwards, at the foot of our player. They were harmless, even with these changes. I don't remember having a shot at Rossi's goal, honestly. With the construction itself, they weren't hurting much. I don't remember suffering. In a fatality, the penalty happened, the only chance they had -, pointed out Filipe Luís.

What's next for Flamengo?

Given the draw, Flamengo will take a break for the FIFA Date and will return to the field only on September 14th, when it faces Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi. Thus, the team from Rio Grande do Sul is in 17th place, but won against Ceará in the last round and shows excitement to reverse the negative situation in the Brazilian Championship.
