Filipe Luís says winning the Recopa isn’t a must for Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) meet again next Thursday (26th)

Flamengo fell behind in the race for the Recopa Sudamericana. This past Thursday (19th), the Rubro-Negro lost to Lanús (ARG) 1-0 in the first match of the continental final. After the match, coach Filipe Luís was candid about the obligation to win the title that is imposed on Mengão.

— For me, the Recopa is a very beautiful competition, where the South American champions are, the two best teams. The champion of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana. It is a privilege to be here — he said, before concluding:

— We have the obligation to do our very best. To give everything we have and leave our lives on the field. That is our obligation. The obligation to win does not exist in football. No one controls the result — Filipe Luís concluded.
