Flamengo was one of the most impressive Brazilian teams during its FIFA Club World Cup campaign. Mengão finished first in the group stage, tied with Chelsea, who went on to reach the finals. Despite this, Filipe Luís doesn't believe that the participation of Brazilian teams in the competition will revolutionize team performance .
Flamengo's Filipe Luís on the influence of the Club World Cup in Brazil: "I don't think it will change that much"
"I don't think it will change that much, especially since the players are the same, the coaches are the same. We're returning to a reality where we have a style of football adapted to travel, to different pitches, to weather conditions , to demanding fans, and a style of football completely different from that of Europe. This allows us to compete with them in South American football. But what I said doesn't change; I think the best players went there, are there, they put together squads for each of these elite teams, and it was a great experience for us to see ourselves on the field," declared the Flamengo coach.
WORLDWIDE HELPS TO OBSERVE THE DIFFERENCES
Filipe Luís once again highlighted the difference between the elite European teams and Brazilian football, asserting that the Club World Cup was useful in understanding the difference between the performances of the major European clubs compared to what is seen in the local championship, in addition to lamenting the early exit from the competition.
"Seeing how we're doing, both tactically and technically, with everyone. It was good to see various situations, exchanges with coaches, for example. I had the opportunity to talk to the coaches. Going to their locker room, we were there exchanging game plans, I found it super interesting. And also to analyze the press, the foreign press, not just the Brazilian press, the foreign press as well. So it was really cool, it was a shame to be eliminated in the round of 16. I think we could have gone a little further ," concluded the coach.
NEXT APPOINTMENT
Flamengo now focuses its efforts on the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leader of the competition with 27 points, Mengão goes to Vila Belmiro next Wednesday (16) at 8 pm (Brasília time), where it will have a duel against Santos, with star Neymar, in the Brasileirão.

Flamengo returns to the field away from home next Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . The clash promises a full house: so far, more than 45 thousand tickets have already been sold , confirming the expectation of a large audience in Salvador.
Ticket sales began on a staggered basis last Sunday (28), with priority check-in for members of the Tô na Fonte category. Even after the general opening, members can still guarantee a place in the stadium . Prices range from R$33 to R$280, with half-price tickets available and free admission for children up to 11 years old.
On the field, the match carries strategic weight for both teams. Bahia, defeated by Botafogo in the last round, is looking to close in on the top four and continues to monitor the results of direct competitors like Botafogo and Mirassol. On the other side, Flamengo is looking to extend its lead at the top of Série A and maintain its strong run of results this season.
Mengão player is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship and could be called up to the Brazilian National Team if he obtains naturalization

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.

In the goalless draw between Flamengo and Cruzeiro , last Thursday (02), striker Gabigol experienced a special reunion with the red-black fans at Maracanã . Even with few minutes on the field, the former Fla player relived memorable moments of his time at the club.
Before the ball rolled, Gabigol greeted players and members of the Rio de Janeiro team. Among the photos, a hug with Filipe Luís, Flamengo 's current coach and former locker roommate, stood out. The number 9 also posed smiling alongside Arrascaeta and hugged old friends like Rodrigo Caio and Léo Pereira.
During the game, when visiting his former teammates on the bench, the striker even reproduced the famous “ fusion ” celebration, which marked the successful partnership with Bruno Henrique in Flamengo's golden days.
Gabigol only entered the field in the 42nd minute of the second half, right after William was sent off for Cruzeiro. After the final whistle, he made a point of praising the result on social media: " +1 point, thank you blue nation for the support! Now we'll see you at home ."
After the draw with Cruzeiro, with Gabigo, Flamengo does not have much time to rest . On Sunday (05), the team faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere.
