Former coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo assessed Filipe Luís's early tenure at Flamengo and compared his game plan to that of Fernando Diniz, currently at Vasco. He believes both teams are flawed by insisting on a single tactical scheme without creating alternatives, which exposes defenses to danger in decisive moments.
"Within this change, Fernando Diniz , who was my player, created a style of play and believes it's the right one. How many decisive games has he lost? He could have had a much better career. Flamengo set an example of this. They lost because they wanted to leave at a time when they couldn't leave the field. The long ball is also a tactic," Luxemburgo declared on the podcast "De Jogador pra Jogador," hosted by Muller.
Luxemburgo recalled the elimination to Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup , when Mengão was defeated 4-2. According to him, the insistence on playing from the defense made the opponent's job easier.
"Flamengo lost their World Cup qualification because Filipe Luís wanted to play all the time. Bayern pushed up and applied pressure. They defended well. They missed key plays and conceded goals. They were eliminated from the competition. What do you do? Pick the player with the best header, get everyone close, take the shot, and then compete for the second ball to escape the pressure. But people think it doesn't have to be that way," he explained.
When asked by Muller which team he currently likes in Brazilian football, Luxemburgo stated that he can't think of a team that excites him. Still, he highlighted the individual talent of the red-and-black players and the potential of the current manager.
"Flamengo has talented players. Filipe Luís is very young and has everything it takes to become a great coach . He's not a bad coach; he's young. So much so that, in my opinion, he made a mistake at the World Cup when he couldn't identify Bayern's team. But he's very good. It's like Fernando Diniz. There's no set tactical scheme, there are tactical schemes that you use depending on what's presented in the game . Flamengo has talented players, but I don't see a great team that excites me," he concluded.

Flamengo could have an important reinforcement in the duel against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Nicolás De La Cruz, out since July 16, trained with the squad this Monday (11) on the Ninho do Urubu pitch and is close to returning to action under the command of Filipe Luís.
Confirmation of his presence will be defined after the activity on Tuesday (12), one day before the clash at Maracanã. The midfielder had been following a specific plan from the medical department, similar to that adopted in the first half of 2025, with the aim of recovering the performance shown at the beginning of the season.
The number 18 suffered a left knee sprain on May 18th. After returning from the Club World Cup , he felt pain in the area again and needed treatment to reduce inflammation. The schedule was designed to ensure he was available for the Copa Libertadores Round of 16.
With De La Cruz back in action, the club's medical staff is virtually unavailable. Danilo is in the final stages of recovering from a muscle injury, while Erick Pulgar continues treatment after surgery on his right foot on July 3rd.
Monday (11): Training – 9:30 am
Tuesday (12): Training – 3:30 pm

Lazio has once again ruled out any possibility of negotiations involving Valentín "Taty" Castellanos and Flamengo . According to Italian journalist Ilario Di Giovambattista, the Roman club's board has no intention of giving up a player considered a starter in this transfer window.
Flamengo 's interest in the Argentine striker has been ongoing for weeks, turning into a soap opera in the transfer market. Despite the player's insistence on reaching an agreement, Italian officials have not signaled any change of heart.
According to reports in the Italian press, Castellanos has scheduled a meeting with the president of Lazio for next week. The goal is to try to persuade the president and reinforce his desire to move to Brazilian football.
Even so, with an estimated value of €35 million , the Italian club is not currently willing to negotiate with Flamengo . The transfer window in Italy is already closed, making it difficult to immediately replace the player.
Internally, Castellanos is considered an important member of the squad , which increases resistance to his departure. The Argentine's performance last season was evaluated positively, reinforcing Lazio's desire to keep him.
