Após o empate sem gols entre Flamengo e LDU, em Quito, pela 3ª rodada da fase de grupos da Libertadores, Filipe Luís usou a altitude para justificar a atuação mais contida e discreta. Dizendo-se surpreendido pelo esquema de jogo do adversário em sua primeira experiência como treinador nestas condições, explicou melhor a estratégia:
— Sempre é muito difícil jogar na altitude de Quito. Já tomei goleadas e já venci aqui, é complicado. Todo o contexto é diferente — disse Filipe: — Optamos por um plano de passes mais curtos. Sabemos que o adversário também cansa, por mais que eles já estejam aclimatados aqui. Queríamos fazer com que corressem atrás da bola, para não terem o volume que fazem na casa deles.
A equipe está na terceira colocação do grupo C, com quatro pontos, perdendo no saldo de gols para o Central Córdoba. A LDU lidera, com cinco. Filipe não se mostrou abalado e valorizou bastante o empate longe do Maracanã.
— Queríamos ter vencido. Era importantíssima essa vitória. Nós nos colocamos nessa situação porque perdemos em casa para o Central Córdoba. Agora temos que entrar para vencer, agora e sempre. Pela dificuldade de jogar com a LDU, esse empate nos deixa vivos para continuar buscando a nossa classificação, que é o objetivo — declarou o técnico.
Além disso, Filipe Luís exaltou as atuações individuais de Pulgar, Ayrton Lucas e Evertton Araújo. Ao comentar sobre Gerson e Bruno Henrique, que decepcionaram novamente, disse que o volante foi sacrificado, e que o atacante precisou de auxílio de oxigênio.
— Só o Bruno Henrique que pediu auxilio de oxigênio, mas todos sentem. Peguei os dados do ano passado e vi os que sofrem menos. A função defensiva mais importante tinha o Gerson, que era encarregado de pressionar e ajudar o Wesley. Ele foi o sacrificado pela parte física — comentou. — O Evertton (Araújo) e o Erick (Pulgar) foram impressionantes. (Pulgar) Não errou quase nada, cobriu o campo, cortou muita bola perigosa. Ninguém é titular por acaso. Fiquei muito feliz pelo jogo dele e do Ayrton (Lucas) — valorizou.

Jets 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: They went chalk — and that might not be a bad thing
Aaron Glenn’s goal at the outset of the offseason was to establish a brand, to set the tone. What’s that brand?“Tough, physical, violent, aggressive, resilient,” Glenn said. “If we continue to get guys like that, you’ll start to see the brand show up on the grass.”That thought process drove everything Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey did this offseason, in free agency and especially in the NFL Draft. They didn’t set out to make a splash — and they didn’t in free agency, outside of signing quarterback Justin Fields — but wanted to simply find the right people to fit what they want to do. For the last couple of years, the Jets had talent and big names. They made headlines, but it was a team that often faltered under pressure, struggling to handle adversity and sometimes failing to cultivate […]
Harry Kane criticises ‘crazy’ booking ruling him out of potential Bundesliga title-clincher
Harry Kane has criticised a “crazy” refereeing decision that will see him miss Bayern Munich’s game against RB Leipzig, when they could clinch the Bundesliga title.Kane was shown a yellow card in the 45th minute of Bayern’s 3-0 win over Mainz on Saturday. It was his fifth booking of the season, meaning that he will now serve a one-match suspension.AdvertisementWith Bayern 2-0 up in first half injury time, referee Bastian Dankert awarded a free kick for Mainz, which Kane delayed by not immediately releasing the ball. Dankert showed him a yellow card — which Kane described as a “crazy, crazy decision” — which potentially costs him the chance to be on the pitch when Bayern confirm their title at the Red Bull Arena next weekend.“Unfortunately, sometimes people come to the Allianz Arena and try to make a name for themselves,” […]
Seahawks 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Wild card Jalen Milroe highlights offense-heavy class
In Mike Macdonald’s first season as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, the team had a below-average scoring offense and missed the playoffs.Macdonald then fired his offensive coordinator and made significant changes to the offensive staff. Seattle traded its starting quarterback, released one of the best wide receivers in franchise history (Tyler Lockett) and traded DK Metcalf. The Seahawks also entered the draft with very serious needs along the interior offensive line.AdvertisementThis is important context because it helps explain Seattle’s 11-man haul in the 2025 NFL Draft. Nine of the picks were spent on offense, including the top selection, guard Grey Zabel. He’s the first guard general manager John Schneider has ever drafted in the first round. Zabel turned out to be one of three college tackles the Seahawks drafted to play guard in the NFL.Seattle also drafted two receivers […]
‘Mr. Irrelevant:’ Patriots select Kobee Minor with last pick in 2025 NFL Draft
<!--> Kobee Minor is the 2025 NFL Draft's "Mr. Irrelevant." The New England Patriots selected the Memphis defensive back with the 257th and final pick to officially close out this year's draft.Minor started his college career at Texas Tech, where he played for three years. He then transferred to Indiana for the 2023 season before his final stop at Memphis last year.

Soft? Not these Cavaliers, who destroyed Heat in Game 3 amid trash-talking battle
MIAMI — Let’s get this part out of the way:It was either unfortunate timing, or just not the best look, for Darius Garland to go in on Tyler Herro and then not play the next game with a toe sprain.Likewise, it was either unfortunate timing or not the best look for Herro, and the Miami Heat, to respond as forcefully with their words to Garland as they did and then play as poorly as they did Saturday.AdvertisementYou could, if you wanted, try to make a case that the Cleveland Cavaliers’ dominance in a 124-87 win over Miami in Game 3 was a result of Garland’s teammates having his back, picking him up when he was not out there to walk the walk.You could try that, and the Cavs would meet you with an “ehhhh.”“Maybe a little bit, but I feel […]
Rams 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Roster confidence and aiming to win now are apparent
LOS ANGELES — This year’s L.A. Rams draft had all the feel of a team fine-tuning select areas in preparation to make a real run at a championship, without losing its substance afterward.The Rams’ six picks — including three trades up on Day 3 — are the fewest they have used since 2016. They also added a first-round pick in 2026 via Atlanta after trading out of the first round Thursday night.AdvertisementThis means two things are true: The Rams are confident about the backbone of their roster and assets in 2026 and beyond, but they’re going to try to win now.Their moves in free agency — from agreeing to continued terms with star quarterback Matthew Stafford to their extension of left tackle Alaric Jackson addition of free-agent nose tackle Poona Ford, receiver Davante Adams and center Coleman Shelton — all […]
