Filipe Luís on Palmeiras clash after Flamengo win in Brasileirão | OneFootball

What Did Filipe Luís Say About Palmeiras’ Match in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo and Palmeiras are battling point by point for the lead in the Brasileirão. After Mengão’s 5-1 thrashing of Sport, coach Filipe Luís was honest when asked if he would ‘root against’ the São Paulo team in the final stretch of the national championship.

— I don’t like to ‘root against’, it brings bad energy. I’d rather not even watch and just focus on what we can control. That’s how I prefer to think. And when I said I watch with a glass of wine, it’s just following the ball, not with a tactical eye. I’d rather not root against and just do our part -, said Filipe Luís in a press conference this Saturday (15).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Flamengo achieved an impressive victory over Sport and, with that, temporarily took the lead in the Brasileirão. That’s because, with the win, Mengão reached 71 points, three more than Palmeiras’ team.

Having done their part, Flamengo now needs to keep an eye on the Palmeiras vs. Santos match, which started at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (15). That’s because, if Abel Ferreira’s team does not win the classic, the Rubro-Negro will open up a lead and take sole possession of the top spot in the Brasileirão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo’s next match will be against Fluminense, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. The classic will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV, will show the details of the classic on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
