Player era, Felipe Luis played for Chelsea for one year and encountered the darkest moments of his life. Now in charge of the coaching staff, he defeated his former boss with a victory - in the second round of the Club World Cup group stage, Flamengo reversed 3-1 against Chelsea, and Felipe Luis led the team to break the 25-year record - becoming another South American team after Vasco Da Gama in 2000 (2000 Club World Cup, Vasco Da Gama 3-1 Manchester United).

Felipe Luis, 39, was once the hottest left-back in European football. From 2010 to 2014, he helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League, the Copa del Rey, the La Liga and the Champions League runner-up. But at the peak of his career, he chose to join Chelsea, but after only one season, he was swept out by then coach Mourinho.

Felipe Luis at that time was full of unwillingness and disappointment: "Murinho told me at the time that I was not as good as Azpilicueta in the left-back. He asked me to win the main position, but I never had any expectations because I was not his first choice. His words made me feel betrayed and I didn't want to work hard for him anymore."

Pe Luis also took up the coaching position. In order to defeat his old owner Chelsea, he studied technical and tactics day and night, and did not sleep well for four consecutive days: "In the past 4 days, I have not had a stable sleep because I know Chelsea. They are the most skilled and tactical team in Europe. Both the players and I know that this is a difficult game, and we must be fully prepared at the technical and tactical level."

The opening game was only 13 In the minute, Flamengo conceded 1 goal because of Wesley's personal mistake, but what made Felipe Luis feel relieved was that the players did not recover because of this, but instead played better and better: "I am proud of the team, because after Wesley's mistake, the team did not stop attacking. We played our own inherent routine. From the beginning to the end of the game, we all firmly believed that we could win."

Palmer and Jorginho

In Felipe Luis's view, Chelsea lost There are two major reasons for the ball. One is that it is not adapting to the weather, and the other is that it lacks desire to win: "The best team does not always win. I understand the strength of European clubs, especially European giants. It seems that they are not suitable for such weather. If they don't want to win, it will only make them more difficult. There is no doubt that their lineup is stronger, but on the court, any team can win. Beating Chelsea today is the best example."
