The Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (26) to face Lanús (ARG) for the second match of the South American Recopa. In an interview before the game, coach Filipe Luís expressed optimism about the victory and explained the reason for the changes in the team.

— It will be a very difficult game, as it was in the first leg, but we believe that, in front of our fans, with a packed Maracanã, we know the opportunity to continue making history and winning another title here with Flamengo —, said Filipe Luís, before the game.

— We are all very motivated to win this title, which is so difficult. The game plan, the choices for Danilo, and the changes are all thought out for what is best for the team, to be able to beat Lanús today —, concluded the Flamengo coach.

WHAT DID FILIPE LUÍS CHANGE?

Filipe Luís sent Flamengo onto the field with the same tactical structure to face Lanús, based on the latest matches. However, the red-black coach opted to start Danilo and Ayrton Lucas in the starting lineup, replacing Léo Ortiz and Alex Sandro.

And it didn't stop there. Filipe Luís took Lucas Paquetá out of the starting lineup and placed Evertton Araújo alongside Erick Pulgar. Finally, Gonzalo Plata took the place of Everton Cebolinha and will play as the main striker.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF THE MATCH?

Flamengo will need to turn the situation around to become the South American Recopa champion. This is because the red-black team lost the first match 1-0 in Argentina. Therefore, to win the trophy, they will have to win by two goals.
