Filipe Luís or Jardim: Jorginho on Flamengo’s Carioca triumph | OneFootball

Jorginho revealed that Flamengo is already assimilating Leonardo Jardim's work

The ‘Leonardo Jardim Era’ started off on the right foot at Flamengo. In his debut, the Portuguese coach won the Carioca title against Fluminense on penalties. When asked about the new commander's role in the final, Jorginho highlighted that there was “a lot of work” from Filipe Luís, but the European already had a ‘finger’ in the team that took the field this Sunday (08).

“There was a lot of work (from Filipe Luís). But there were many new ideas from Jardim. We are, day by day, assimilating more and more and hoping for a quick process of adaptation and improvement,” said Jorginho, in an interview with GETV, still on the Maracanã field.

— It was important for us to turn our season around. We started a new cycle and we will do everything to make it a victorious cycle like the last one. That's what we want, that's what we will try to deliver. We will do the best we can —, added the midfielder.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JARDIM AND FILIPE LUÍS?

Leonardo Jardim had only four training sessions in charge of Flamengo. Therefore, he didn’t have much time to implement a philosophy in the team. However, some aspects were clear: the Rubro-Negro made more direct connections and was more vertical.

However, both teams were uninspired and few plays were created. Thus, the match ended 0-0 and the contest was decided on penalties. In the shootout, Fábio saved one for Fluminense, but Rossi saved two for Flamengo, securing the three-time championship.

WHAT ARE FLAMENGO'S NEXT COMMITMENTS?

After the 40th Carioca title, Flamengo wants more. Now, the Most Beloved will fight for the tenth Brasileirão title. On Wednesday (11), the Most Beloved faces Cruzeiro in the fifth round. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
