This is because the lineup of Flamengo did not please the fans, who corresponded the coach on social networks.

One of the main criticisms was for Danilo’s lineup. Not because of the experienced defender’s entrance, but by choosing to put him on the field in Leo Ortiz’s vacancy.

Especially with Leo Pereira coming from a match below, making a penalty in the game against Cruzeiro, as well as a bad score in the first goal of the Minas Gerais team.

According to Filipe Luís, the decision was due to the scheme. The coach believed that having a left -hander on the left would help to curb the pressure of Central Cordoba.

“It was a choice. I have three Brazilian defenders. Against LDU, already played Danilo and Leo Ortiz. Today, by the context of the game, I understood that it was better to have a left -hand left side to get out of pressure,” he explains.
