Multi-champion with Flamengo, Filipe Luís was the guest of Fred, presenter of Desimpedidos, to participate in the 'Fala 12' panel, where the athlete needs to point out 12 career-related preferences. During the ball game, the former Gávea number 16 spoke about Vini Jr and the golden ball.

In one of the questions, Fred asked Flamengo's idol if Vinícius Júnior, Rubro-Negro's creation, deserves to win the ball of gold this year, and Filipe Luís' response was: “if he wins the (Champions) final, he deserves it.”

Vini Jr leads the ranking of favorites for the Ballon d'Or award

It is worth noting that Vini Jr has been having an excellent season for Real Madrid, he is the highlight of the Merengue team in the Champions League and one of the favorites for the Best in the World award. He competes for the trophy with Bellingham, also from Real, Mbappé (PSG), Phil Foden (Manchester City) and Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).

Also in relation to the Champions League – and Flamengo -, Fred asked Filipe Luís if the emblematic 2019 team, led by Jorge Jesus, would pass the group stage of the Champions League. The current under-17 coach replied yes, and stated that Rubro-Negro would reach the quarter-finals.


In other answers, Filipe Luís also addresses Flamengo. This is because the current coach of the youth category was asked about the biggest idol of his career, and answered “Athirson”, former Rubro-Negro full-back.


In addition, another answer that caught attention was from time when Filipe Luís agreed to return to Brazil, to play for Flamengo. Fred asked if, in addition to Fla, another team had looked for the player, who revealed that he had been targeted by São Paulo.

Filipe Luís at Flamengo

Multiple champion with Flamengo, Filipe Luís was in the club between 2019 and 2023. The full-back ended his time as a player at Rubro-Negro with 12 titles under his belt: two Libertadores, two Supercups, one Recopa Sul-Americana, one Copa do Brasil and two state titles.

Now a coach, Filipe Luís leads the under-17 team and is starting to fulfill another dream: becoming a football coach. At the beginning of the experience, Filipinho takes over the Fla project and goes in search of his first title, the Copa Rio in the category.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.

The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.

FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>

During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.

The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.


The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.

Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.


THE COACH WANTS A COMPETITIVE STYLE

This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”

Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.


"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
