Which Flamengo matches in the Carioca were led by Filipe Luís?

Out of the ten Flamengo matches in the Campeonato Carioca, Filipe Luís was in charge of six. The first three were with Bruno Pivetti and a squad mostly composed of under-20 players. The grand final featured the Portuguese Leonardo Jardim.

In Leonardo Jardim's debut, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Fluminense, but secured the Carioca title in the penalty shootout. Fábio saved one for the runner-up, but Agustín Rossi managed to save the shots from Guga and Otávio, ensuring the three-peat for the Most Beloved.

What is Bap's opinion on giving a medal to Filipe Luís?

After Flamengo's title over Fluminense, Luiz Eduardo Baptista spoke publicly for the first time about Filipe Luís's dismissal. Thus, President Bap stated that the commander deserves a medal and sent a message to the Rubro-Negro idol.

I think it's fair that he gets a medal, I don't know how it will be and I see no problem. He made a very important contribution to Flamengo, what he did will never be erased, but we have to look forward. Life goes on. Much success, good luck, his name is in the gallery of great Rubro-Negro champions, both as a player and as a coach, so it's deserved, just like the title for the Nation.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Leonardo Jardim on the sidelines, Flamengo returns to focus on the Brasileirão. Thus, this Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim's team faces Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the national championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
