Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the Club World Cup continues to have a strong impact in Europe. One of the most thought-provoking comments came from coach David García, who holds a UEFA A license and works as a coach trainer on the continent. In an in-depth analysis published on social media, García praised the red-and-black team's performance and compared the team to Pep Guardiola's historic Barcelona , highlighting the associative style of Brazilian football.
David García on Filipe Luís' Flamengo: "It's exactly what we saw from Barcelona between 2008 and 2012"
For García, Flamengo's triumph goes beyond the score and prompts a reflection on the dominant model in European football. In his commentary, the coach states that the European school often only venerates space and the disruption of the opposing lines , but that Flamengo showed another way.
“European football has taught us to worship space: find the deepest man, break the line, stretch the field. But perhaps football is more than that. Brazilian football is reminding us: football is about us. Association football lives .”
David highlighted the central point of the red-black victory as the positioning and ability to create spaces through short and quick exchanges , and not just through the opponent's movement. According to him, Flamengo did not wait for Chelsea to open spaces - they created their own paths.
“Five passes, two players, never more than 6 metres apart. They beat four Chelsea defenders without needing space, switches or stars. Just rhythm, feeling and confidence in the next move. Flamengo’s third goal is pure street football.”
In another part of the analysis, David García states that Flamengo's performance was reminiscent in many ways of Barcelona's peak between 2008 and 2012, led by Guardiola and led by Lionel Messi. "If you're thinking: 'This looks familiar', you're not wrong. It's exactly what we saw from Barcelona between 2008 and 2012. Same rhythm, same overload, same magic ."
The coach also makes a point of highlighting that the Barcelona team, often considered the symbol of Spanish football, also carried a lot of the South American essence, represented by names like Dani Alves and Messi. “Everyone called it ‘Spanish football’. The Barcelona of 2008 seemed like the peak of a new era , but look closer: Daniel Alves, Messi. It wasn’t just Spain — it was South America pulsing through the rhythm.”

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
