Filipe Luís demands more from Flamengo after Internacional win | OneFootball

Flamengo won, but could have achieved a better result against Internacional

Flamengo defeated Internacional last Wednesday (13th) by 1-0, with a goal from Bruno Henrique, at Maracanã. In this way, the red-black team took the lead over the team from Rio Grande do Sul in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, coach Filipe Luís mentioned that it was not enough and that the team needs a better result.

— No, of course we would have liked to achieve a better result. But it’s not bad either, right? We have an advantage, we won and dominated a great team like Inter, which plays with control, volume, and possession. And in the end, we had more. But it didn’t translate into goals. It was a fair result. We have to keep that in mind, we’re going to win the game. It was the same as when we arrived with an advantage in other competitions – like last year’s Copa do Brasil final. That has to be our mindset — Filipe Luís began.

— Sunday (17th) is a very important game (for the Brasileirão), we are the leaders. We have to defend our position. Let’s see how we prepare, who recovers well to play on Sunday and go for the win in both games — concluded the Flamengo coach.

HOW IS THE MATCHUP?

With the 1-0 victory, Flamengo took the lead over Internacional in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, to advance to the next stage of the continental tournament, a draw in Porto Alegre is enough. Finally, if o Mais Querido loses by one goal, the decision will go to penalties.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo will face Internacional again, but this time for the Campeonato Brasileiro. The team led by Filipe Luís will face the team from Rio Grande do Sul next Sunday (17th), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 20th round of the national tournament.
