"Not even worth discussing, it’s madness": Filipe Luís on Flamengo exit | OneFootball

For Flamengo's coach, criticism stays only on the internet

Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (06) by Atlético-MG, in a penalty shootout, in a bad result for coach Filipe Luís. However, the coach believes that the criticism on social media does not represent the sentiment of the fans who follow the team in the stadium.

— The demands of the Flamengo fan, social media I don't even comment because it's crazy, if you guide yourself by the networks… The truth is not there. People are putting everything out. The truth is in the stadium, there the fan has every way to show everything they're feeling. That's where we guide ourselves -, says Filipe Luís in a post-game interview.

What were Filipe Luís' last results?

Despite the victory this Wednesday (6), Flamengo is experiencing a sequence of defeat, draw, and elimination. This is because they lost to Atlético-MG 1-0, drew 1-1 with Ceará, and fell in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil to the team that owns the Arena MRV in a penalty shootout.

How was the elimination?

Although away from home, Flamengo controlled the match, opened the scoring with a beautiful goal from Everton Cebolinha, but failed to convert other clear opportunities. In the final stage, Atlético-MG reacted, even hitting the post with Gustavo Scarpa, who did not equalize.

With the aggregate score 1-1, the classification was defined in penalties. Flamengo even had an advantage after Rossi's defense on Júnior Alonso's shot. However, goalkeeper Everson caught Samuel Lino's shot, while Wallace Yan isolated, resulting in the elimination of the 2024 Copa do Brasil runner-up.
