Since making his debut as a professional coach, Filipe Luís has proven to be a challenge for most teams in Brazil so far. Among all of them, Fluminense has been the biggest thorn in the side of the Rubro-Negro manager’s career, which could change this Sunday (25).
That’s because Flamengo and Fluminense face off in the fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the coach will meet again, at Maracanã, the opponent he has beaten twice, lost to twice, and drawn twice.
Thus, the team from Laranjeiras was the first to defeat the Most Beloved in the Filipe Luís era, who has never given up. The coach then got his revenge the following year in both the Carioca and the Brasileirão.
After the main squad took over the matches in the Carioca, Flamengo achieved their first victory in the competition. In Group B, the Rubro-Negro has reached four points from four matches played.
Currently, Flamengo occupies fifth place in the group. Fluminense, Sunday’s (25) opponent, is in second place in Group A, with six points, two wins, and one loss in the State Championship.
