Filipe Luís on Flamengo’s Libertadores final rival: Palmeiras or LDU? | OneFootball

Is Flamengo’s Squad Worn Out?

Flamengo is in the final of the Libertadores. Therefore, the team is keeping an eye on the result between Palmeiras and LDU (EQU) this Thursday (30th). However, Flamengo’s coach Filipe Luís suggests that you can’t pick your opponent for the final.

— Tomorrow (this Thursday), I’m going to enjoy (the Palmeiras vs. LDU match) having a glass of wine with my wife, watching the game from a tactical point of view, just following the ball. The mental exhaustion of the last few weeks has been very intense. I need to enjoy myself too. The next day I’ll use just to relax — said Filipe Luís after qualifying for the final.

What exhaustion is Filipe Luís referring to?

Flamengo has been through a tough run of games. After the FIFA break, Filipe Luís’s team played a derby against Botafogo, a direct clash with Palmeiras, the first leg against Racing (ARG), and suffered a bitter defeat to Fortaleza.

In other words, with the second leg of the Libertadores, the Most Beloved played a match every three days, which included trips within Brazil and to Argentina. However, the outcome is positive for the finalists.

How did Filipe Luís’s team qualify?

After a narrow win at Maracanã, Flamengo had a good first half at the El Cilindro stadium in the return leg of the semifinal. However, the sending off of Plata gave Racing a boost, but the Rubro-Negro managed to hold onto the result to qualify.

Where will Palmeiras vs. LDU take place?

LDU will defend their three-goal advantage over Palmeiras at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Therefore, a win by four goals or more will send Abel Ferreira’s team to the final.

When is the final?

The Libertadores final will take place on November 29. The decider is scheduled for Lima, Peru. In 2019, the same Estadio Monumental in Lima hosted the grand final, and on that occasion, Flamengo emerged victorious.
