Filipe Luís reveals apology to Dorival Júnior, Corinthians manager | OneFootball

Filipe Luís and Dorival Júnior worked together at Flamengo in 2022

Flamengo defeated Corinthians 2-1 last Sunday (28), at Neo Química Arena, for the Campeonato Brasileiro. After the match, coach Filipe Luís revealed that he spoke with and hugged Dorival Júnior, who worked with the former left-back at Mengão in 2022.

— I spoke with him before the game. I went to the locker room to give him a hug. As a coach, the pain and loneliness of defeat are very strong. I didn’t know it was this intense. Today we leave with the win, I’m happy. He’s going to have a tough night because we all go through that — Filipe Luís began.

— Today I understand and I’ve already apologized to other coaches I had because now I understand what they go through. It’s a very demanding job, which brings a lot of joy, but it’s also a big sacrifice. I went there and gave him a hug, I have a lot of love and affection for him and everything he did for me. I always wish the best for his life — concluded the Flamengo coach.
