It's not just the opposing fans who view Flamengo differently. According to Filipe Luís, their rivals raise their game when they face the Red-Blacks, striving to showcase their best football of the season. In an interview with Zico on Flamengo TV's "Resenha do Galinho," the coach highlighted this special mobilization from his opponents , but said he sees the situation as a positive one.
Filipe Luís talks about Flamengo's opponents: "Everyone comes to play the game of their lives"
"Today we feel that way; we always face the best version of our opponents. We don't face an unmotivated opponent; that never happens. Against Flamengo, everyone comes to play the game of their lives, because you're more exposed than ever, so it's an opportunity to show Brazil and the world who you are . This also requires greater concentration and mobilization for each game. But at the same time, it's a privilege," said Filipe Luís.
During the interview , Zico commented that this situation naturally creates extra pressure for the coach . When asked about the impact on his daily life, Filipe Luís revealed that he has trouble sleeping due to the countless thoughts about the team.
"Most of the time, I don't sleep eight hours. I wake up during the night with ideas and thoughts about the team. It's a time when many ideas come to me, and it's a shame because I don't rest, my mind is always working . But during the night, many ideas and thoughts come to me. And that's when I try, the next day, to organize myself so I don't forget, because our minds are thinking machines," said the commander.
Flamengo returns to the field on Monday (25), against Vitória, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship. The match can be used to rotate the squad , as players like Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira are coming off a tiring streak and may be spared.
The player is back on Palmeiras' radar after negotiations at the start of the season, but has a clear preference for playing for Mengão.

Midfielder Andreas Pereira, 29, has once again stirred up the backrooms of Palmeiras and Flamengo . According to Goal, the player has received a new approach from the São Paulo club, which is estimating a value between 12 and 14 million euros . Despite the interest, the athlete continues to express his desire to return to the Rubro-Negro, which has not yet made an official approach.
While Flamengo held only informal talks with Andreas in early 2025, Palmeiras has been more incisive. Eight months ago, the club offered €25 million , but the midfielder declined due to his emotional attachment to the "Mais Querido." Now, the situation is different, and the negotiations are likely to take on new chapters.
In Fulham's Premier League debut against Brighton, Andreas didn't even leave the bench, fueling rumors of a possible exit . The player believes that returning to Brazilian football could be crucial to securing a place in Ancelotti's national team.
In the first half of the year, Andreas was very close to joining Palmeiras, but Fulham made it difficult to secure his release, and the deal fell through. This time, the midfielder is more willing to wear the Verdão jersey , believing that a change of scenery is the best path for his career.
While Palmeiras remains active in talks, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team returns to the field on Monday (25), when it faces Vitória , at Maracanã, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, at 9 pm (Brasília time).
The midfielder is reportedly unhappy with the Hammers and sees a departure as beneficial for his future career, even though manager Graham Potter is counting on him.

Brazilian Lucas Paquetá is expected to be on the field this Thursday (22) in the duel between West Ham x Chelsea, for the Premier League. Considered one of the Hammers' main players, the midfielder trained with the starters and should start the match.
Despite his important role in the squad, Paquetá isn't having a good time at London Stadium. According to the English website Hammers News, the player no longer displays the same enthusiasm as before and is no longer the smiling figure who once commanded attention behind the scenes. He has recently become more isolated, even in relation to his own compatriots .
The situation worries West Ham 's board, which believed the athlete would be more motivated after being cleared in the investigation into alleged involvement in sports betting. However, the situation remains different than expected.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paquetá is considering changing clubs during this transfer window and has already been approached by several teams . However, there are no concrete negotiations yet. CFC News also highlighted that representatives of the Brazilian offered him to Chelsea, but the Blues have prioritized negotiations for Xavi Simons, which reduces the chances of an immediate move.
Paquetá is under contract with West Ham until June 2027 and, according to Transfermarkt, is valued at €28 million (approximately R$178 million) . The Hammers, however, would only open negotiations for a higher amount.
At the height of his 27 years, the Flamengo youth product played 36 matches last season , scoring five goals but providing no assists. In 2025/26, he has only appeared once so far, in the 3-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League opener.
