Flamengo fans protest against Filipe Luís, board, players at training ground | OneFootball

Filipe Luís was the main target of Flamengo fans

Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) 3-2 last Thursday (26th) and ended up as runners-up in the Recopa Sudamericana. As a result, the crisis within the red-and-black team deepened. This Saturday (28th), fans went to protest against the team at the entrance of the training center.

“Salaries paid on time, but lacking in grit” was one of the banners brought by the Flamengo supporters at the entrance of the Ninho do Urubu training center. In addition, another message read: “Filipe Luís and his methodologies”, expressing dissatisfaction.

According to journalist Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Jorge Carrascal was surrounded by protesters at the entrance to Ninho do Urubu and was the most pressured player upon arrival for training. In the end, the club’s security and the police were mobilized.

However, the players were not the only ones targeted by the Flamengo fans’ protest. Banners against José Boto and the entire board were also present at the entrance of Ninho do Urubu this Saturday (28th).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

Flamengo has been performing below expectations at the start of this season. In addition to finishing as runners-up in the Recopa Sudamericana, they also lost the Supercopa do Brasil final to Corinthians. As a result, they are currently only in 11th place in the Brazilian Championship.

In fact, after the defeat to Lanús last Thursday (26th), Flamengo fans criticized Filipe Luís. Part of the Maracanã crowd chanted: “Hey, Filipe, go f*** yourself,” which generated major national repercussions.

AND WHAT ABOUT FILIPE LUÍS?

Filipe Luís has a contract with Flamengo until December 2027, after renewing his deal at the end of last year. Therefore, in order to terminate with the coach, the red-and-black team would have to pay a multi-million fine.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo has the chance to turn things around next Monday (2nd), when they face Madureira in the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. O Mais Querido won the first leg 3-0. Thus, the match at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) is worth a spot in the final.
