Flamengo Coach States That Everyone Takes the Field to Win the Intercontinental

Flamengo and PSG (FRA) face off in the final of the Intercontinental this Wednesday (17). Despite rumors that the team led by Luis Enrique is not taking the tournament seriously, the French delegation arrived in Qatar at full strength. For Filipe Luís, coach of the Rubro-Negro, everyone enters the competition with a single goal: to win.

— They come to play a final, just like us. Obviously, they would rest some players today to play the final of the Club World Cup (Intercontinental). No one has ever played the final with a reserve team because everyone wants to win this competition. Does it have the same value as the Champions League? It does not. But everyone here wants to win. Being world champion is making history -, he said.

DID PSG REST PLAYERS IN THEIR LAST GAME BEFORE FACING FLAMENGO?

PSG took the field last Saturday (13) and beat Metz (FRA) 3-2 in the French Championship. On that occasion, Luis Enrique chose to field a mixed team. Thus, starters such as Doué, Chevalier, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, João Neves, and Kvaratskhelia started the match on the bench.

In addition, while recovering from a hip injury, Brazilian defender Marquinhos was not even listed for the match against Metz. Even so, the defender appears among the players called up for the match against Flamengo.

On the other hand, number 10 Ousmane Dembélé missed the last two games due to a virus, but also traveled to Qatar. With this, PSG may count on two reinforcements against Flamengo. Conversely, Hakimi’s absence is confirmed, as the full-back remains in the medical department after suffering an ankle sprain.
