Filipe Luís names his most impressive Flamengo win | OneFootball

Flamengo won both matches against Internacional in the Libertadores

Flamengo defeated Internacional last Wednesday (20th), 2-0, at Estádio Beira-Rio, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. With this dominant result, coach Filipe Luís praised the team for their tactical discipline. He also highlighted that this was the most impressive win since he took over as head coach of the Red and Black.

— It was a great game, a very complete match, with a high level of tactical discipline from my players. They made a huge sacrifice to neutralize Inter's weapons. It's hard to compare. Every game has its own difficulties. We came from the Club World Cup after beating the world champions, so it's hard to say this was the best — began Filipe Luís.

— Every game has its positives and negatives. Our group is reinventing itself, there are many new players who have arrived, some important ones who have left. There's a new spirit, so this victory was very important to give strength and credibility to this group, which was already very strong and has everything to get even stronger — concluded the Flamengo coach.

DOMINANT AGAINST INTERNACIONAL

Flamengo showed no mercy to Internacional at Estádio Beira-Rio. Having already won the first leg 1-0, the Red and Black team could have even drawn and still advanced to the quarterfinals. However, the team led by Filipe Luís dominated the match and triumphed 2-0, with goals from Arrascaeta and Pedro.

AND AGAINST CHELSEA?

In the Club World Cup, Flamengo steamrolled Chelsea (ENG). Even after falling behind on the scoreboard, the Red and Black side created more chances and pressed throughout the 90 minutes. Pedro Neto opened the scoring for the English side. However, Bruno Henrique, Danilo, and Wallace Yan turned it around for the Red and Black.

WHAT NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo turns its focus back to the Campeonato Brasileiro, where they are defending their lead in the competition. The Rio de Janeiro team will take the field next Monday (25th), at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), against Vitória, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 21st round of the Brasileirão.
