Filipe Luís explains the low number of shots against Fluminense | OneFootball

Flamengo had only eight shots against Fluminense

Flamengo was defeated by Fluminense 2-1 last Sunday (25), in a classic match held at Maracanã, for the Campeonato Carioca. After the match, coach Filipe Luís was questioned about the low number of shots. The coach stated that this statistic was due to the merit of the opponent.

“The low number of shots is Fluminense’s merit, who knew how to neutralize our attack,” said Filipe Luís, in a press conference right after the match, last Sunday (25), at Maracanã.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION?

In the previous match, against Vasco, Flamengo debuted its main team. Thus, the red-and-black club dominated for the entire 90 minutes. During that period, they had 32 shots compared to just two from Vasco’s team, catching the attention of the Nation.

However, in the match against Fluminense, Flamengo had much lower numbers. That’s because the Most Beloved had only eight shots. In the end, the rival shot ten times, in a balanced match at Maracanã.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME FLAMENGO HAD FEWER SHOTS?

Thus, the game against Fluminense was the match in which Flamengo had the fewest shots since the match against Racing (ARG), for the Copa Libertadores. On that occasion, Mengo, with one less player, shot six times.
