In an interview with ‘GE Flamengo’, Filipe Luís talks about the expectation of playing another Club World Cup with the team, especially against an opponent like Real Madrid
Filipe Luísplayer of Flamengotalks about the expectation of competing for another Club World Cup for the team. In 2019, the side was part of the squad that lost to Liverpool, already in the extension of the grand final. In this next edition, the 37-year-old athlete will meet an old adversary, who he knows very well from the time he played in Spain: the Real Madrid🇧🇷
“Real Madrid is very difficult. I lost some finals and won others, like the Copa del Rey, Supercup… it’s a team that knows how to suffer, has quality and is cold. When the game is tight, the ball doesn’t burn at anyone’s feet, and that surprises me. And of course the shirt is heavy”said Filipe Luís in an interview with the podcast ‘GE Flamengo’.
However, the player still prefers to think about the semi-final, the club’s first game at the World Cup. If Mengão manages to qualify, Filipe understands that it will be a very complicated decision, but not impossible. For him, football is based on the moment and, with the competition expected to take place in February, he said that this could be a positive point for Flamengo’s preparation.
“We’re going to get better physically and we can strengthen ourselves for the World Cup. They will have players at the World Cup, and January is a difficult month, with a tight schedule. Impossible, nothing is. Anything could happen. Why not get out there and have a big game against them?”declared the left-back.
At Flamengo since 2019, the player is close to confirming the renewal of his contract, which has not yet had its details released. Despite all the achievements he has achieved at the club, he guarantees that the group is not accommodated and is going in search of the World Cup. “It is our most dreamed title. One day we can put ourselves close to the great idols who passed through Flamengo. We want to put another star on the shirt.”reported.
