Filipe Luís explains why Vini Jr is better at Real Madrid than for Brazil | OneFootball

Coach fired by Flamengo, Filipe Luís analyzes why Vini Jr has been doing well this season

Whenever the Brazilian National Team plays, one of the post-match topics is the difference between what Vini Jr does at Real Madrid (ESP) and for the Seleção. For coach Filipe Luís, the answer lies in the overall setup the forward is part of.

— It’s never the same thing playing for the club and here for the National Team, the contexts are different, and the context of that game against France was also different. Maybe the player was below his level, just as the whole team may also have been below its level. I didn’t watch the match, but he is a player who, as things stand today, is among the three best in the world, if not the best, because of what he has been doing this year -, said Filipe Luís, who added:

— And today we have both Vini and Raphinha, who for me are two players among the five best, so we are lucky to have decisive players who can settle matches. Will they always play well? Certainly not. But we trust that they are players who decide games and win matches -, the coach emphasized.

What did Vini Jr do in Brazil’s last match?

The Brazilian National Team lost 2-1 to France. As a result, the forward developed in Flamengo’s youth academy watched teammate Mbappé dominate the match, while the Cria do Ninho made too many mistakes in Boston, United States.

Why didn’t Filipe Luís watch the match?

The coach fired by Flamengo pointed out that he uses his free time to visit clubs and meet new people. The former full-back was also in the stands this Saturday (28), watching the Rubro-Negro beat PSG in the Under-12 World Cup final.

How is Flamengo doing without Filipe Luís?

Undefeated under Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo will face Red Bull Bragantino on April 2, after the FIFA international break. On that occasion, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bragantino through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
