Luxemburgo challenges Filipe Luís’s tactics after Copa do Brasil exit | OneFootball

Luxemburgo questioned Filipe Luís’ changes in the match against Atlético-MG

Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday (06), after losing on penalties to Atlético-MG in Belo Horizonte. As a result, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who has previously managed the team, sent a message to Filipe Luís and demanded changes.

“Flamengo took the lead (opened the scoring), but didn’t perform well. I thought Flamengo could advance, because they have the squad, but they’re not managing to play,” said Vanderlei Luxemburgo, in a video published on social media this Friday (09).

— Filipe Luís is young, has excellent potential to become one of the great Brazilian coaches, has a great team in his hands and needs to understand how he will act at this moment. There isn’t just one style of play. There are several models to be applied — he concluded.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo actually beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte. Therefore, the decision went to penalties. However, Samuel Lino and Wallace Yan missed their shots, and the red-and-black team ended up being eliminated in the round of 16.

On the other hand, Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s questioning is about Filipe Luís’ tactical scheme. That’s because the red-and-black coach started with one formation and, despite needing a goal to advance directly, didn’t make any changes during the match.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo leaves the Copa do Brasil behind and focuses again on the Campeonato Brasileiro. The team led by Filipe Luís faces Mirassol this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 19th round.
