Despite the benefit of equality on the scoreboard, the team led by Filipe Luís is not considered a favorite in the view of Renato Maurício Prado. The journalist, in a column in “Uol”, raised the defects of the locals in the classic lost to Fluminense as a reason why favoritism fell into the lap of Corinthians, who on the same day, had beaten Athletico-PR 5-2 in the Brasileirão .
– Decidedly eliminated from the fight for the Brazilian title, the Copa do Brasil remained, a lifeline and consolation, as even the position in the G-4 is threatened, after the setback in Fla-Flu. But with what morale will this team arrive on Sunday at the Neo Química Arena? After the 5-2 defeat of Athletico Parananese, Corinthians will step onto their pitch with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. As favorite to qualify for the tournament decision – said Renato.
➡️ Corinthians never overturned a defeat to Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil
In the match against Tricolor, Fla had a poor performance, especially in the second stage, and was defeated 2-0, with goals from Lima and Arias. It was Filipe Luís’ first defeat at the helm of the team – he had previously won two matches.
– Paulo Henrique Ganso destroyed Filipe Luís’ Flamengo. It’s as simple as that, if we want to make a very short summary of Tricolor Rio’s deserved victory at Fla-Flu. On the red and black side, however, there is more to consider. Much more. How can Filipe, who was a great and seems to be a promising coach, not see the obvious? – asked RMP.
