Diego Ribas on Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "he would be a good option for Atlético de Madrid"


“He really has incredible potential. He can coach any team he wants in time. He will gain experience and it may come time to work at Atlético de Madrid . He loves the team, he loves Spain and he would be a good option for Atlético, always with a lot of respect for Simeone . Both Filipe and I are absolute fans and admirers of Simeone,” said Diego.


In addition to the future possibility, the former player also praised the coach's immediate impact on Flamengo : “I have always believed that the most important thing for a team is the coach. He is the leader, inspires confidence, gives direction and organizes . Filipe is doing a spectacular job. Since he took over, the team has changed — and changed for the better. He is fundamental to all of this.”

INTERNATIONAL PRAISES FOR THE RUBRO-NEGRO CAST


The Spanish newspaper also highlighted the arrival of the experienced Danilo, at the beginning of 2025, in addition to the high level of performances of Gerson and Arrascaeta , pillars of the team led by Filipe Luís, which is in a position to win all the competitions played in the current season.

Young striker Wallace Yan, 20, will be officially warned by Flamengo's board after being sent off in the match against Bahia , held last Sunday (5). The player received two yellow cards in a period of just ten minutes , in a move considered immature and avoidable by the coaching staff.


According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club decided not to remove the player from the main squad, but to impose an internal punishment of an educational nature . The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.


CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COACH


The club's board intends to handle the case as part of the striker's professional development process. Coach Filipe Luís and members of the coaching staff will participate in discussions with the player, reinforcing the importance of discipline and posture on the field.

" Filipe Luís will speak with him, as will club officials. The goal is to make him understand the magnitude of the mistake and its consequences," Venê said. The expulsion came at an important time for Wallace Yan, who was trying to regain his place in the first team.


WALLACE YAN CONTINUES WITH THE GROUP

With the suspension confirmed, Wallace Yan will continue training normally with the group, but under the supervision of the coaching staff. To become a regular player again, the Flamengo forward will need to demonstrate commitment and maturity on and off the field.
