Filipe Luís hails Flamengo star in win over Bragantino: "Splendid" | OneFootball

Which player received praise from Filipe Luís, Flamengo's coach?

Flamengo fought until the end and managed to come back against Red Bull Bragantino, winning 2-1, in the 16th round of the Brasileirão. After the match, coach Filipe Luís made a point of praising the red-black squad and, in addition, praised Evertton Araújo.

— I want to praise the effort of the players, who ran for 90 minutes without stopping, all of them. Players who have been playing less, like Evertton Araújo, who had a splendid game. He never entered a calm game, always entered the fray, and I would like to praise the game he played - concluded Filipe Luís in a press conference on Wednesday (23).

HOW WAS EVERTTON ARAÚJO'S PERFORMANCE IN FLAMENGO'S GAME AGAINST BRAGANTINO?

Evertton Araújo had the opportunity to start for Flamengo in the game against Red Bull Bragantino. The athlete formed a midfield duo with Jorginho. Playing the full 90 minutes, the player had a good performance and 'gained credit' with Filipe Luís. During the match, the midfielder was effective in marking and also collaborated in some offensive plays.

WILL EVERTTON ARAÚJO CONTINUE AS A STARTER FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo is going through a period of scarcity in midfield since the departure of Gerson to Zenit (RUS) and the injury of Erick Pulgar. In the last game, Allan and De La Cruz were also absent, and thus Evertton Araújo gained a spot. In this way, if the scenario remains, the young player should be kept.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

After the victory over Bragantino, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (27) to face Atlético-MG, in the 17th round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball rolls at 20:30 (Brasília time), at the Maracanã. Coluna do Fla, as usual, provides live coverage with reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima. Finally, Premiere will broadcast the match via pay-per-view.
