Filipe Luís reveals new football trend, suggests solution for Flamengo | OneFootball

Zico and Filipe Luís debated the future of world football on Flamengo's YouTube channel

Commander Filipe Luís pointed out the direction that world football is taking. That's because the Flamengo coach explained, last Thursday (21), to idol Zico, what the big teams in the sport invest in to win. For the coach, a well-done job starts from a well-structured defense.

— Football today is going back to being that football of individual matches, man to man, pursuits. In the Premier (League, in England) it's already a trend, in the French Championship too. And more and more clubs are doing this type of defense, which is the one that most opposes the positional game. So, you can see that all teams now, most of them, are doing this and it's bothering a lot. Then we'll have to go back to having dribblers, people who don't lose the ball -, highlighted Filipe Luís in an interview with Galinho, published by Flamengo TV.

Does Flamengo have a dribbler?

In light of Filipe Luís' statement, Flamengo's main dribblers are Uruguayan star Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo. That's because the Uruguayan has 54, while the number 7 has 52 feints. However, Samuel Lino played seven times with the Sacred Mantle and already hit 25 in the category.

And what about the defense?

If it's necessary to mark man to man, it's necessary not to suffer many dribbles. Thus, Filipe Luís has Léo Ortiz at his disposal, who was only dribbled nine times in the season. Léo Pereira took 24 feints, while Danilo only six.

When is Flamengo's game?

With dribblers and defenders at his disposal, Flamengo faces Vitória this Monday (25), for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls from 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Soon, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows all the details of the confrontation with the 'in loco' coverage of Rodrigo Lima and Leo José, on YouTube.
