Griezmann eager for Filipe Luís reunion after Flamengo exit | OneFootball

While Flamengo prepares to face Cruzeiro, Griezmann was playing the Champions League

The forward Antoine Griezmann took advantage of Atlético de Madrid's (ESP) victory on Tuesday (10th) in the Champions League to remember old friends. Thus, the Frenchman stated that he wants to catch up with former full-back Filipe Luís, who was dismissed from Flamengo.

— I really like Filipe Luís' ideas, the football vision that the professional has. One day we will meet again -, highlighted Griezmann, in the mixed zone, after the 5-2 win over Tottenham (ENG) in the Champions League round of 16.

Will Filipe Luís coach Atlético de Madrid?

After leading one of the most successful years for Flamengo, Filipe Luís' leadership became unstable. Thus, the club dismissed the coach, which reinforced his dream of working in Europe, where he spent much of his career as a full-back.

Filipe Luís is even pointed out as the successor to Argentine Diego Simeone at Atlético de Madrid, a team where the former player is an idol. However, the former Flamengo player still needs the European license and necessary experience to work on the Old Continent.

How is Flamengo without Filipe Luís?

Under the command of Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo plays this Wednesday (11th) against Cruzeiro. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash between Flamengo and Cruzeiro through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brazilian Championship match.
