Luxemburgo: What separates Flamengo from Palmeiras, calls out Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Filipe Luís tries to take Flamengo back to the top of the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo lost the lead in the Brazilian Championship to Palmeiras and also saw their rival open up a three-point gap. Thus, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, former coach of Mengo, explained the difference between the teams and demanded a change of attitude from coach Filipe Luís.

— The Brasileirão is very tough, but I think Palmeiras manages the games they need to win better and is a more solid team. The debate at Flamengo today is that the bench players have more goals than the starters. When you are a coach, you go with what solves the problem, not with what you like. Sometimes, you need to set that aside — said Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

— Flamengo lost one of the most important games in its history, against Bayern. If they had won, they could have been champions of that tournament and elevated the club to an international level of respect, reaching another tier. The coach may or may not be excellent. There is a lack of maturity and football expertise. There is a need to detach from the players and make decisions that are important — he concluded, in an interview with Mesa Redonda.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo is experiencing a period of instability in the Brazilian Championship after failing to win their last two matches. As a result, the red-and-black team saw Palmeiras take the lead in the national tournament.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo will have the opportunity to regain the lead in the Brazilian Championship on Wednesday (15th). That is because the team led by Filipe Luís faces Botafogo at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the 28th round of the national tournament.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, which kicks off at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). In addition, CazéTV, via YouTube, will broadcast the match for free, which is worth the lead in the Brazilian Championship for Flamengo.
