Flamengo is in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores after beating Internacional 2-0 , this Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio. The result confirmed the team's good phase under the command of Filipe Luís , but the coach tried to avoid comparisons with Jorge Jesus, idol of the Nation and reference in the 2019 title.


Filipe Luís avoids comparisons to Jorge Jesus at Flamengo: "I'm going to make my own history"


"First, I can never compare my team to the past; they're different players. I also can't compare myself to Jorge Jesus , who, if not the best in history, is one of the greatest to ever play for Flamengo. I'll never be like him; I'll make my own history, my way, but always with the Flamengo DNA I've known since I was a child," declared Filipe Luís.


THE DNA OF FLAMENGO ACCORDING TO FILIPE LUÍS

The coach emphasized that his philosophy is essentially about constant pressure and stifling opponents, but acknowledged the changing nature of football: " The idea is to crush the opponent for as long as possible . Of course, we often won't succeed, and other times we'll play poorly and even lose. But the goal is always to play the game, to play with the ball on the ground," he added.


FLAMENGO CONTROLLED IN BEIRA-RIO

While Flamengo didn't quite put on a show, it was solid in Porto Alegre. The defense didn't allow Internacional to get a shot on target against Agustín Rossi , who didn't have to work hard. The team from Rio Grande do Sul only threatened late on, when Borré hit the post.

On the other side, the Mais Querido were efficient. Arrascaeta opened the scoring in the first half, taking advantage of a rebound inside the box, and Pedro, in the final stretch, sealed the victory 2-0. With the result, Flamengo advanced 3-0 on aggregate .
