There are players who have a marked coach profile. They have not taken the title, but because they behave in the field there are ways to intuit that their next step after hanging the boots will be to be on the benches. Filipe Luís (Jaragúa – Brazil, 1985) is one of them. It just took a few months to hang his boots, in 2023, he took over the Flamengo cadet, his last club. From there, his ascent was meteoric, until he was named in September 2024 technician of the first team of the “Máis Dear”, as the club is known to confirm that Brazil's thrust was not a specific issue of the group stage. To do this, he must impose his law, as he did against Chelsea, in front of Bayern (Domingo, 22:00 hours).
Three titles and an offer to direct Brazil
Without even having turned a year in office, Filipe Luís accumulates three titles in his first experience as a professional coach. He won the Cup Do Brazil to Atlético Mineiro, repeated with the Super Cup and also surpassed Fluminense in the Carioca Championship. This brilliant performance caught the attention of a Brazilian soccer confederation that, in the middle of the crisis of results, identity and transfer of coaches, wanted to put the glove. Ednaldo Rodrigues, president dismissed twice, who ended up opting for Ancelotti after a year of recess, tried the Flamengo coach.
In a personality courage, former Atlético de Madrid player, among others, said, at 38, to feel “very honest” for the proposal to lead the 'Canarinha'. Possibly, a train that passes once or in indicated years. He understood that his football career project was in Flamengo and developing a firm proposal through club football. His commitment has been right, according to the results he is obtaining with the 'item-Negro', which was classified as first of his group after beating Chelseaanother of the teams in which Filipe Luís played.
Another former 'Blue' soccer player like Jorginho has become his prolongation in the field. It was the great movement of Flamengo for the Club World Cup, who took an experienced helmsman and still with good soccer years on his legs. A footballer who lost prominence with Arteta, but who has resulted in a luxury reinforcement for the 'Fla', also demonstrating the financial power of the Brazilian League, the great opponent of Europe in the Club World Cup. Filipe Luís will measure Bayern of Kompany, who stumbled upon Benfica in the last game of the group stage, with just three losses in 45 games that show the faith that their players have in their approach in their approach.
A medium gas bayern is released from excuses
Filipe Luís is part of the School of Modern Trainers who are not attached to a single system. With Flamengo he has played mainly with a 4-2-3-1 with two upstream, which mutates in a 4-4-2. It depends on the chosen profile. One of the players who has managed to recover the exlalate is to Gonzalo Plata, in his dayly signing of Real Valladolid, who has managed to reunite with football in Brazil. Flamengo is a team with the ability to leave both short and long, if they press it, and it is very worked to take advantage of the second plays.
How could it be otherwise, the sides are very important in the approach of Filipe Luís. Under his mandate. Wesley, Guillermo Varela, Alex Sandro or Ayrton Lucas are final in the offensive generationthat part of approaches with great breadth and depth, through which Flamengo tries to generate superiority in attack. It will be, therefore, an intense duel, against a Bayern who has gone to half a gas in a group where he thrashed Auckland, had to go back to Boca and ended up losing to Benfica.
Without looking for justifications to its unequal level, the German team, with which you always have to count for final phases, wait carbon in the 'Mata-Mata', as Brazilians call the qualifiers. “We are professionals and we have to be fit. If someone of almost 36 years, like me, can run 90 minutes, then everyone should be able to do it. So, no excuses.”Müller said in the prior to a duel where Filipe Luís will present his candidacy to train in Europe, with Atlético, his former teacher Simeone, very attentive to his evolution.
