After the 2-0 victory over Palmeiras at Allianz Parque this Sunday (25), coach Filipe Luís celebrated the result and spoke about the comparisons with Abel Ferreira , commander of the São Paulo team. The triumph marked another step in Flamengo 's recovery this season and extended the team's unbeaten streak.
In an interview after the final whistle, Filipe highlighted the importance of beating a direct opponent away from home and reaffirmed his confidence in the work carried out.
It's very unlikely that I would have worked more..."
“The victory against a team of this level, inside the stadium, on a synthetic pitch, is something to be cherished . It’s worth three points, like every game. I’m still the same. I’m very clear about where I want to go, how I want to get there and how to get there. If you’re going to criticize me, I just ask that you keep watching what’s being done . How the team plays, how it scores, how it gets to the opponent’s goal, how it’s proposing. That said, I can’t control the result. The team will fluctuate , it will lose , it will draw . I’m still the same,” the coach highlighted.
Filipe also responded to the comparison with Abel Ferreira , citing the dedication he has put into leading the team:
“With criticism or praise, I will continue to do my job. Abel may have tied in terms of working hours , but it is very unlikely that he worked more. Even working so hard, sometimes we will not win . If one day I leave this chair, I will lie down in my bed and know that it was not for lack of work. Today was a very special victory and we will celebrate a lot”, he concluded.
Under Filipe Luís's command, Flamengo reached its sixth consecutive game without defeats. There are four wins and two draws — against Central Córdoba (ARG) and Botafogo . The team reached 21 points in the Brazilian Championship and remains in second place, just one point behind Palmeiras.
Furthermore, Rubro-Negro secured a place in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and maintains good chances of qualifying in the Libertadores, occupying second place in Group E.
Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (28), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, against Deportivo Táchira (VEN). The match is valid for the last round of the group stage of the Libertadores and will define the club's future in the continental competition.

Flamengo will have two important absences for the duel against Bahia, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . Defender Léo Pereira and full-back Alex Sandro received their third yellow card in the goalless draw against Cruzeiro and are serving an automatic suspension.
Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.
With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes. The likely starting lineup includes Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Viña (or Ayrton Lucas); Jorginho (Allan or De La Cruz), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (or Carrascal), and Pedro . Leading the table with 55 points, Flamengo is looking to open up a gap over Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, who are closely tied.
On the other side, Bahia faces a crisis of absences. There are 13 confirmed absences—between suspensions and injuries—in addition to doubts like Ramos Mingo, who was injured in the last match. The Esquadrão, currently sixth with 40 points , will face an even greater challenge against the championship leader.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.
Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.
With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
