Flamengo overcame the absences, ending the season Copa América with a positive balance and remained in the fight for the top of the Brazilian Championship table. The performance had as one of the ingredients the use of young people raised at the base, in the face of numerous absences.
The person who started to integrate this transition process with the professional was the former full-back Filipe Luis. He was announced as Rubro-Negro's under-20 coach a month ago.
"Filipe Luís is a sensational guy. It's a win-win. He brought a lot of his experience, his experience, he has a very good approach with the players. And we are sharing with him all our methodology, work, the entire structure. It's been very good for both sides", said Vitor Zanelli, vice-president of the base.
Filipe Luís 'close' to professional
Filipe Luís took over the under-20s after playing for Fla's own under-17s, he was champion of the Copa Rio in the month past. He was promoted after the departure of Mário Jorge, who took over the Saudi Arabia under-17 team. The former full-back knows day-to-day life in a main squad. He retired at the end of 2023 with the red and black shirt, after becoming a professional player in 2003, for Figueirense, and arriving at Flamengo in 2019.
The management profile changes a little. Filipe Luís was a player and brings that experience under his belt, while Mário Jorge had good knowledge of working with young players. He started in 2011, with Audax's under-15s, and went through the Vasco academy before landing at Gávea, for the under-13s.
Filipe Luís spent a good part of his career as a player in Europe
In previous interviews, he said that his style as a coach is a mixture of everything he learned from the coaches he worked with, and cited Simeone and Jorge Jesus as some examples. The now coach has contacts with the professional's staff. Together with the under-20 committee, he accompanied some athletes who went to do activities with the main squad at the end of last month.
"There were 13 athletes who went up and the committee also went. It's not because it's Filipe, that's the club's process. This construction has to give us all the success we're experiencing. In September, we were Brazilian champions in the Libertadores. There were only two. Look at the reconstruction we had to do in five months", he pointed out.
Flamengo will compete in the U20 World Cup in August. The team was champion of the Libertadores category in March, beating Boca Juniors, from Argentina, in the final.
"The fact that [Filipe] went from under-17 to under-20 was It's a matter of opportunity. We realized that it could be very good for all coaches to move up a category. We are doing everything we can to make it work because our main objective is to win the World Cup." used professionally during the Copa América
Flamengo had nine games in the period between international friendlies and Copa América and five important absences. Tite then used seven boys from Ninho and another six were related and stayed on the bench.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.
At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).
ALCARAZ AND FABRÍCIO BRUNO HELP TO COMPLEMENT THE GOAL
It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).
BILLING MAY INCREASE
Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
