Man United star: This will help Flamengo win trophies

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

Flamengo is having a great season, as they have taken the lead in the Brazilian Championship after a victory over Mirassol. For Manchester United (ENG) star Bruno Fernandes, Filipe Luís is the key factor for the Most Beloved in 2025.

— I think Brazilian football has grown a lot. Not just because of the Portuguese coaches, but also... Because many teams have Brazilian coaches, like Filipe Luís, who just finished this first round (of the Brazilian Championship) in the lead, because Cruzeiro lost to Santos, right? I was watching that game. Obviously, I think (Filipe Luís) is a coach who was in Europe as a player, had a coach like (Diego) Simeone, and then returned 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 way he handles things, someone who has been inside football, understands and perceives the moments. And I think that's very important. And I think Flamengo is growing and is better also because of that – he concluded, in an interview with ESPN.

How is Flamengo doing in the Brasileirão?

With the victory over Mirassol, Flamengo has taken the lead in the Brazilian Championship. At the moment, the Most Beloved has 40 points, while Cruzeiro, in second place, has 37. In other words, the Red-Black has a three-point advantage and one game less.

And in the Libertadores?

In the Libertadores, Flamengo has important commitments against Internacional, for the round of 16 of the competition. The first leg is scheduled for this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open TV, ESPN on cable TV, and Disney+ on streaming.
