Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (14) to face Bangu still with the under-20 squad. Despite this, Filipe Luís, the coach of the professional team of Mengão, made a decision before the duel begins.
Filipe Luís will be present at Moça Bonita shortly to watch the second game of the Ninho's youngsters in the Carioca. However, it is worth noting that the team will be led by Bruno Pivetti, while the professional coach will watch from one of the stadium's boxes. This information comes from journalist Raphael Zarko.
It is important to highlight that Filipe Luís was not present last Sunday (11) in Volta Redonda to watch Flamengo's debut. However, this Wednesday (14), the coach will be ‘in loco’ closely following the players' performance.
Yes! Before taking over the professional team of Flamengo, Filipe Luís began his career as the coach of Mengão's under-17 team. After that, the coach ‘moved up’ and led the under-20 team, which won the Club World Cup in 2024. Thus, Filipe knows most of the players in the squad.
While the under-20 is playing in the Carioca, the professional squad began their pre-season last Monday (12) at the CT Ninho do Urubu. Thus, the tendency is that the full strength of Rubro-Negro will only take the field in the classic against Vasco next week.
With Filipe Luís cheering, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (14) to face Bangu in the Carioca. The match takes place at 21:30 (Brasília time) at Moça Bonita Stadium. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV shows the details of the match with the most rubro-negra coverage ‘in loco’ on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social networks.
