Filipe Luís on Flamengo players’ response to fans after Lanús loss | OneFootball

Flamengo crossed into Lanús’ (ARG) box 44 times

Flamengo lost to Lanús (ARG) 3-2 last Thursday (26th) at Maracanã, finishing as runners-up in the Recopa Sudamericana. After the match, coach Filipe Luís commented on the excessive number of crosses into the box and placed the responsibility on the players.

— About crossing into the box, the decision is up to the player. The opponent leaves spaces that the players occupy. Lanús won the Sudamericana by defending their box well. Obviously, we had a plan to try to break down that line, which often turns into a line of six — began Filipe Luís.

— We played inside the opponent’s box, but unfortunately we conceded a goal. We managed to turn the game around with a lot of pressure, but when the whole team is closed in their box, it’s not easy to create chances. Even so, the team kept up the pressure and controlled the game well until their legs couldn’t take it anymore — concluded the Flamengo coach.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION?

Flamengo dominated the game against Lanús. However, one statistic stood out: the number of crosses into the box. That’s because the red-and-black team sent the ball into the attacking area 44 times, connecting only seven. This information comes from ‘SofaScore’.
