Flamengo train amid protests after Recopa loss: "Amateur board" | OneFootball

On Saturday morning, Flamengo returned to training at Ninho do Urubu after the 3-2 defeat to Lanús in the Recopa Sudamericana final last Thursday. A group of fans protested outside the training center with banners against the board and Filipe Luís.

“Amateur management”

The banners mainly targeted the executive football director, José Boto, and coach Filipe Luís. The fans brought banners aimed at the club official with phrases such as “amateur management” and “Boto incompetent.”

Another banner criticized coach Filipe Luís: “Felipe Luiz (sic) and his methodologies.” The Rubro-Negro coach made changes to the team for the final, such as starting Ayrton Lucas, who made a mistake on the first goal, instead of Alex Sandro. In addition, after the match, the coach said in a press conference that Flamengo “played a great game,” a statement that was negatively received by the fans.

Delicate moment

This was Flamengo’s second runner-up finish of the year. The Rio team had already lost the Supercopa do Brasil final to Corinthians at the beginning of February. In last Thursday’s defeat, the team was heavily booed after the final whistle at Maracanã.
