Carioca Semifinal at Maracanã between Flamengo and Madureira Featured a Red-Black Rout

The 8-0 thrashing of Flamengo over Madureira on Monday (2) did not ease the protest of the red-black fans. "Shameless team," shouted the 25,000 present at Maracanã to Filipe Luís's team, who agreed with the words.

— I completely understand. I always like to remember that I wore the Flamengo jersey when I was little, I've been a Flamengo fan since childhood, just like them. When I put myself in the position of a player first, it's a life choice, but I knew the pressure it entailed -, highlighted Filipe Luís to add that:

— One of my best friends in football, Diego Ribas, experienced this pressure. I watched from afar and wanted to live this support in good times and bad. As a coach, from the moment I wanted to start here and the club opened its doors to me, I knew everything -, he pointed out.

Did Filipe Luís say anything else to the red-black fans?

The coach recalled that the fans supported the contract renewal. Then, Filipe Luís reiterated his respect for the Flamengo crest. Therefore, the coach indicated that he needs to work harder to evolve and give back the affection to the public who witnessed the best years of his own life.

— What made me happy is that they protested, but supported a lot during the 90 minutes, and this reflected on the players. When the game ends, everything is valid -, highlighted the coach of the Most Beloved.
