The players' physical condition has been frequently discussed by both fans and the press, due to the numerous injuries and the new style imposed by Jorge Sampaoli. However, Filipe presented technical and tactical justifications for Flamengo's unstable phase.
"It is clear that we felt the absence of players like Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique, Pedro and especially Ribeiro in the last few matches.
However, this should not be used as an excuse. We have a squad capable of playing a much better game than the one we presented here. We recognize our flaws and we are not fooling ourselves, but it is a matter of work. We need to correct the problems, which are not physical, but technical and tactical", he analyzed.
The speech goes against what Sampaoli has been complaining about after the matches, about the ideal conditions of the Mais Querido athletes. For the coach, poor performances on the field are linked to the athletes' physical form. In yesterday's match against Nublense, Mais Querido lost Arrascaeta and Matheus França at the last minute.

"Today is a special day in my life, 30 years since I returned to Brazilian football, to Flamengo. Cleber, Michel, Plínio, thank you for bringing me here. (voice chokes). I spent a hell of a lot of time here, I'm even... (starts crying)", he said on the Charla Podcast.
At the time, Flamengospent 4.5 million dollars plus taxes (25%) to make the hiring. This value corresponds to R$25 million, an unrealistic amount for signing athletes in current football, especially when it comes to the current best in the world. In comparison, the fine to remove Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid is 1 billion euros (R$ 6.22 billion).
ROMÁRIO'S PASSAGE IN FLAMENGO
Romário arrived at Mais Querido to much celebration from the red and black fans. Defending the Sacred Mantle, between 1995 and 1999, he played 240 matches and scored 204 goals, taking fifth place among Rubro-Negro's top scorers.
Despite not having won major titles with the Sacred Mantle, some of them involved Romário, who was two-time Carioca champion (1996 and 1999), won the World Champions Cup (1997) and the Mercosul Cup (1999).
