Man United star: Key reason Flamengo can win titles | OneFootball

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) against Internacional, for the Libertadores

The Flamengo is having a great moment in the season, as it has isolated itself at the top of the Brazilian Championship after victory over Mirassol. For Manchester United (ENG) star, Bruno Fernandes, Filipe Luís is the differential factor of the Most Beloved in 2025

— I think Brazilian football has grown a lot. Not because of the Portuguese coaches, but also... Because many teams have Brazilian coaches, like Filipe Luís, who just finished this first half (of the Brazilian Championship) in the lead, because Cruzeiro lost to Santos, right? I was watching this game. Obviously, I think (Filipe Luís) is a coach who has been in Europe as a player, had a coach like (Diego) Simeone and then returns to Brazil to be coached by Jorge Jesus -, he said, before concluding:

— I don't know how much he does of what he learned from them or not, but he is a coach, from what I see, by the way he speaks, by the way he treats the athletes, by the treatment he has, of someone who has been inside football, understands and perceives the moments. And I think that is very important. And I think that Flamengo grows and is also better because of this – he concluded, in an interview with ESPN.

How is Flamengo doing in the Brasileirão?

With the victory over Mirassol, Flamengo has isolated itself at the top of the Brazilian Championship. At this moment, the Most Beloved has 40 points, while Cruzeiro, in second place, has 37. That is, the Red-Black has a three-point advantage and one less game.
