I think Filipe’s Flamengo is a very intense team, always pressing a lot. Filipe is doing a great job —, began Eduardo Salvio, in an interview with ESPN.

— They are two different coaches, but I think I could see much more of Jorge Jesus (in Filipe Luís) than of Simeone. I remember well how Jesus’ Benfica defended set pieces. Filipe does something similar, marking the zone on corners. We did that a lot at Benfica (POR) —, he concluded.
