Filipe Luís, openly inspired by style by Jorge Jesus, made his debut as Flamengo coach against Corinthians with an offensive, suffocating and compact, reminiscent of the times of "Mister". Journalist Rodrigo Bueno went further, stating that Filipe “rescued” the 2019 team led by JJ.
According to Bueno, the red and black fans finally saw the offensive football they were asking for. And since the lineup, with several names that shone in 2019, it was already possible to see Filipe Luís' intention to revive that Flamengo that won hearts.
“Filipe Luís is rescuing Flamengo from 2019. Based on the lineup, which he already brings together the magic quartet, with Gerson, with Arrascaeta, with Bruno Henrique, and Gabigol. Flamengo fans were lacking that, good football, sharp, vertical, incisive football. And all it took for Filipe Luís was one training session, with a lineup. Filipe Luís on his debut had a score from Tite, and football from Jesus”, said the commentator.
Filipe Luís was brave when casting Gabigol, says journalist
Contested and involved in controversies on and off the field, Gabigol had lost space with Tite, falling behind an improvised Bruno Henrique and even Carlinhos after Pedro's injury. However, under the command of Filipe Luís, the number 99 appears to be gaining a new opportunity in the team.
Despite going through a difficult phase, the striker, who is an idol of the fans, started as a starter for the fourth time this season. Rodrigo Bueno highlighted that Filipe Luís had the courage to choose Gabi, something that, according to the journalist, not even Guardiola would do.
“There is no coach in the world, not Guardiola, not Klopp, not Alex Ferguson. No one would step up, no one would have the courage to put Gabigol in the starting lineup, and Filipe Luís did. And it worked, it showed that he was right”, added the journalist.
Although Gabigol didn't have much direct participation in the game, he took advantage of the chance he had to score a goal. However, the VAR canceled the move, pointing out an offside that generated a lot of controversy among fans, taking away the opportunity Flamengo achieve a victory with a more comfortable score for the second leg.

The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).
According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.
The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.
With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
