Filipe Luís opened the press conference by underscoring the historic significance of the upcoming Flamengo-Bayern Munich clash at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. He noted that the tournament now features an expanded format, raising both physical and mental demands, and stressed that the red-and-black squad is ready for the challenge of debuting against the European champions. According to the left-back, the team’s preparation was designed to maintain optimal match rhythm even after the grueling Brazilian calendar, prioritizing muscle recovery and tactical sessions tailored to the Germans’ trademark intensity.

Addressing the opposition, Filipe Luís praised Bayern’s collective strength, highlighted Alphonso Davies’ versatility and Harry Kane’s efficiency, but assured everyone that Flamengo have meticulously studied the Bavarians’ strengths and weaknesses. He explained that Tite’s staff developed alternative marking schemes to neutralize Bayern’s rapid buildup, and drilled specific set-piece routines—an area where the German side is typically lethal. The defender added that Flamengo’s own possession game must be aggressive, leaving no room for counterattacks, and emphasized the importance of quick transitions and flank triangulations.

When asked about his personal fitness, Filipe Luís acknowledged a demanding run of fixtures but declared himself 100 percent fit and motivated for what could be his final Club World Cup with Flamengo. He revealed conversations with younger teammates such as Wesley and Matheuzinho, in which he shares advice on handling decisive matches abroad. The veteran believes in leading by example, maintaining maximum focus and a collective spirit in the dressing room.

He also touched on fan expectations, noting that thousands of Flamengo supporters will be in the stadium while millions watch on TV. For him, such widespread backing turns into both responsibility and a source of positive energy. Filipe Luís recalled the club’s international pedigree, especially the 1981 triumph, and argued that another title—this time over a European powerhouse—would further elevate Flamengo’s global stature.

In closing, he addressed the overall balance of the Club World Cup’s new format. He praised FIFA for expanding the field, saying it democratizes the competition and brings more regions into the spotlight, though he conceded that the path to the final will be tougher. The left-back wrapped up by reaffirming his confidence in the squad, insisting that the experience gained in the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian league will be decisive in helping Flamengo make history in 2025
