On December 3, 2023, Flamengo experienced a moment of great importance in its history, not just for guaranteeing classification for the group stage of the Libertadores of the year next, but also for saying goodbye to one of his greatest idols. Filipe Luís, still a club player, entered the field at a packed Maracanã against Cuiabá. The 2-1 victory was not only important for the team, but it marked the last chapter in the successful career of Filipe Luís, who, with his commitment, said goodbye with the same enthusiasm as always.

Filipe Luís showed, once again, his importance on the field. Even in a moment of farewell, the left-back did not settle down. He was the leader in tackles in the match and stood out as one of the athletes with the most successful passes, helping Flamengo achieve the essential victory. The game against Cuiabá was not just festive, but a crucial moment for the red-and-black team that was looking for a place in the next edition of the Libertadores. His delivery on the field showed that the idol was willing to leave his mark until the last moment.

FILIPE'S EMOTION LUÍS

December 3, 2023 was marked by a great emotional charge for Filipe Luís. Upon entering the field, the player came across a 3D mosaic that was displayed in the North sector of Maracanã. The image portrayed Filipe alongside his grandfather Ivo Stinghen, with the words “From father to son, from grandfather to grandson.” This tribute was an emotional moment, not only for the player, but for everyone present at the stadium, who could feel the strength of the family bond and the importance of this relationship for the career of Filipe.

Ivo Stinghen, Filipe Luís' grandfather, played a fundamental role in shaping the player's passion for Flamengo. In the midst of a family divided between the red-black and Santos colors, it was Ivo who won his grandson's heart for Flamengo, with his love for the club. The tribute at the stadium was a recognition of this love story, which began long before Filipe Luís became one of the greatest left-backs in world football. This affection was visible in the moment when the player, visibly moved, came across the mosaic.

FAMILY TRIBUTES TO AN IDOL SPECIAL

In front of the tribute at the stadium and surrounded by his family, Filipe Luís couldn't contain his tears. Emotion took over the idol, who, alongside his children Tiago, Sara and Lucas, had one of the most touching moments of his career. The scene of the full-back not even crying alongside his children, and the memory of his grandfather Ivo, will be forever remembered by all Flamengo fans. This moment marked not only his farewell to football, but also his deep connection with his roots and Flamengo fans.

Filipe Luís said goodbye to football with the same competence and humility that accompanied him throughout his career. With the victory over Cuiabá, Flamengo managed to guarantee qualification for the Libertadores group stage, something that seemed distant at certain times. Filipe Luís' legacy goes beyond his performances on the field, but also the way he gave himself to Flamengo and became a symbol of dedication and love for the club. His departure will be remembered by many, especially younger people, who consider him an example to be followed.

Ídolo histórico do Flamengo, Leandro voltou a demonstrar a forte ligação com o clube às vésperas de mais uma final de Libertadores. Em participação no MengoCast, da FlamengoTV, o ex-lateral não conteve as lágrimas ao mandar um recado emocionado ao elenco que enfrenta o Palmeiras neste sábado (29), no Monumental de Lima.

Leandro manda recado para elenco do Flamengo na Libertadores: "vocês vão vencer"

Leandro pediu que os jogadores pensem nos torcedores e nas famílias que acompanham o time, reforçando que garra, disposição e concentração serão fundamentais na decisão. Ao final, tomou pela emoção ao afirmar que acredita na conquista do título.

“Tenho muito orgulho do que vocês fizeram, fazem e vão continuar fazendo. Pensem na torcida, nos seus amigos, na sua família e em vocês mesmos. Muita garra, disposição, concentração e empenho, porque muita gente depende de vocês. A alegria dessa Nação”, disse, antes de se emocionar:

“Que ninguém se machuque, que seja um bom jogo. Vamos ganhar! Muita sorte, muita força. Para frente, Flamengo! Mengão até morrer! Vocês vão fazer um grande jogo, vão arrebentar, vocês vão vencer. Vamos com tudo.”

ÍDOLO ETERNO DO MENGÃO

Leandro fez toda a carreira pelo Flamengo e disputou 414 partidas com o Manto Sagrado. Considerado por muitos o melhor lateral da história do futebol brasileiro, fez parte da geração mais vitoriosa do clube, campeã da Libertadores e do Mundial de 1981, além de quatro Brasileiros, uma Copa do Brasil e cinco Cariocas.

FLAMENGO FECHA PREPARAÇÃO PARA A DECISÃO

O Flamengo conclui nesta sexta-feira (28), às 12h30 (de Brasília), no CT da seleção peruana, o último treino antes da final. Filipe Luís deve aproveitar a atividade para ajustar os detalhes e encaminhar a escalação que enfrenta o Palmeiras.

A principal dúvida segue na defesa: Léo Ortiz ainda tem chances de começar entre os titulares. No ataque, a disputa permanece aberta, com Carrascal, Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha e Samuel Lino brigando por duas vagas ao lado de Bruno Henrique. A possível escalação do Flamengo para a final é: Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira e Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho e Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Cebolinha e Bruno Henrique.
