Flamengo chief Filipe Luis says there will be no diverting from his high print game when the Brazilian side opens his club campaign tonight to the World Cup against Esperance.
Former left back Atletico Madrid took over in October in Flameng and immediately vowed to play the “European style” of pressure on his opponents as much as possible.
A recent study from football observatory has revealed that Flamengo surpassed similar Barcelona and Manchester City in the average depth of the field – which means that their defense sits more on the field, according to the goal of the opponent’s team – and were the highest emergency team in world football.
They will get the opportunity to show their style against Esperance before the games against Chelsea and the LAFC group D.
Filipe Luis said, “We try to attack all the time, always trying to dominate the ball game. What will determine the position on the field will be an opponent. If they have more quality and we have to defend ourselves, we will defend ourselves. But our playing method will be the same. I will always try to press the same way.”

The paper should be too good for Esperance, the 34-plow Tunisian champion.
Africans have several secret weapons, however, in the form of Brazilian two, Yan Sasse and Rodriga Rodrigues.
Sassi played in the Brazilian series A for Coritiba, Vasco da Gama and America Mineiro, while Rodrigues passed in Palmeiiras before in the B.
Rodrigues said to Lance: “Flamengo has top -notch players, not just the rear.
“But we also have a team that covers a talent. I expect an open match in which Flamengo will try to play on the front leg. When the team started attacking, they leave flaws behind, which will look like to use. Everything can happen in football. There are phenomena and shocking results every day.”
Alex Sandro is likely to be suitable for Flamengo after being with the Brazilian detachment for their recent qualifying qualifications for the World Cup.
Nicolas de la Cruz is expected to miss because he is recovering from knee problems, while the former Chelsea midfielder and Arsenal Jorginho may have to arrange for a place on the bench.
Esperance Yassine Meriah’s captain returned from a long -term absence and will start. Rodrigues and Sassi will form two -thirds of the front three.
