Flamengo’s defensive steel under Filipe Luís turns heads 🔴⚫ | OneFootball

Under Filipe Luís, Flamengo has only 35 goals conceded in 63 matches

Flamengo under Filipe Luís is a real barrier. This is because the team's defensive solidity has impressive numbers. There are 63 games and 35 goals conceded, in which the team did not leak in 60% of the matches. In the face of the statistics, the coach revealed that the results are the result of the players' selflessness.

— The defensive phase is fundamental, wins championships. We give it tremendous value. These numbers demonstrate the defensive qualities of my players. The sacrifices, efforts, tactical understanding, but the quality each one has to defend -, said Filipe Luís, in a press conference after the 2-0 victory over Internacional, last Wednesday (20).

Has Filipe Luís ever been thrashed?

The coach arrived at Flamengo in October 2024. Since then, the Rubro-Negro has never suffered a thrashing again. In fact, the match in which Filipe Luís' team conceded the most goals was against Bayern Munich (GER). The team was defeated 4-2 in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup.

In the trilogy against Internacional, however, the team conceded only one goal and scored six against the team that plays at Beira-Rio. With the results of the matches, Flamengo remained leader of the Brasileirão and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

What is Flamengo's next game?

In another opportunity to prove defensive solidity, Flamengo faces Vitória on Monday (25), for the 21st round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball rolls at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows all the details of the match with the 'in loco' coverage of Leo José and Rodrigo Lima, on YouTube.
