Filipe Luís to Flamengo fans: Stop comparing with Jorge Jesus | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus Made History with Flamengo in the 2019 and 2020 Seasons

Flamengo, led by Filipe Luís, delighted the crowd on Wednesday (20), after a 2-0 victory over Internacional at Beira Rio, in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. For this reason, the coach asked the fans not to compare his work with that of Jorge Jesus.

— The only thing on my mind is the victory on Monday. We are far from winning titles, far from winning the Libertadores title, with five games still to play. There's a whole second half of the Brazilian Championship left to play and a lot of things still to happen. I avoid (comparisons), of course, even though I love Jorge Jesus, he was a guy who taught me, like a father to me, I still talk to him all the time. Never compare me to him -, he said, before concluding:

— Never do that. He is a much, much better coach than me, with much more experience, more titles, and history. And I'm just starting mine. Never do that. Don't make that mistake with me, because it's unfair to compare someone with his greatness to me, who is just starting -, he finished.
