My favorite club (Flamengo) can finally play against European giants, although in recent years Flamengo has been in decline (or bad lucky). Maybe with coach Filipe Luis, who is young and has a winning spirit, things will change, because the last coaches we had were nothing but disappointment after disappointment.
Flamengo is in the same group with Chelsea which is the club I support especially from the fact that none of my country club made it this far. Is good to know Filipe Luis is now the manager of this club. It will be a reunion with him with his former club in the EPL which was Chelsea, I still remember he had a brief spare with Chelsea. Although they still have a high chance of making it pass group D, since there are 2 teams qualifying from each group to the next stage.I remember when Filipe Luis played for Chelsea. He was a reserve and was very disappointed with José Mourinho for not playing, but he really wasn't doing so well defensively at that time. As for his career as a coach, he has been demonstrating a way of working that has been very pleasing to the fans. It's a style very similar to what Jorge Jesus did during the 2019 season, when he reached the Club World Cup final playing on equal terms with Liverpool.
Chelsea last played against Brazilian teams in 2022 against Palmeiras, one of the best teams in Brazil. I'm really looking forward to this championship. It's not every day that we get to see Brazilian teams playing against the big European teams.
