Filipe Luís highlights Pyramids’ key threat v Flamengo in Intercontinental | OneFootball

Which player did Filipe Luís mention as the biggest threat from Pyramids (EGY)?

Coach Filipe Luís provided an analysis of Pyramids (EGY), Flamengo’s next opponent in the Intercontinental. During a press conference this Friday (12th), the rubro-negro manager highlighted how the Egyptian team’s players behave tactically on the field and, moreover, identified Mayele as the team’s biggest ‘threat’.

— Mayele was the decisive player in the match against Al Ahli, and he might be the most decisive player for Pyramids, but it’s a very solid team that isn’t just about this one player — he said, before concluding:

— Their defensive phase is very well worked, it’s a coach who understands this defensive phase very well. From what I could analyze, it’s a team that defends very well, that understands coverage and line marking very well — concluded Filipe Luís.

WHO IS FISTON MAYELE, PYRAMIDS’ FORWARD?

Mayele is a 31-year-old forward who has played for Pyramids since the 2022/23 season. This year, the Congolese striker is the reference point of the team’s offensive system, with eight goals scored in 18 matches played.

Pyramids reached this stage of the Intercontinental thanks to Mayele’s accuracy. That’s because, in the match against Al Ahli, the striker scored two of the club’s three goals in the 3-1 victory over their rivals.
