Filipe Luís to Flamengo: Decision is made on the pitch | OneFootball

Flamengo had more shots than Cruzeiro, but couldn't break the deadlock

The Flamengo couldn't break through Cruzeiro's defense and drew a goalless match last Thursday (02). After the game, Filipe Luís talked about the fans' criticism regarding the shots. The coach revealed that he asks his players to shoot more.

— This discussion about shooting less, I've been hearing since I started, that the team doesn't shoot enough. When Luiz Araújo is on the field, he shoots. He's a player who tends to shoot more. When Gerson was here he didn't shoot, others shoot more. So there are players who are more adept at finishing plays and others, less so —, began Filipe Luís.

— I want them to shoot, I ask them to, but the decision on the field is the player's and they try to make the best decision to help the team. The fan often wants more shots, you want it, but it's the player who decides —, concluded the Flamengo coach.

The Flamengo had more shots than Cruzeiro during the 90 minutes. The team led by Filipe Luís shot 15 times, against 11 from the Belo Horizonte team. During this period, the Most Beloved hit the target five times, but was stopped by goalkeeper Cássio's saves.
