Flamengo embodies the very reason of brazillian football downfall.
The media here excessively praises the club. It was tiresome so many and many interviews being highlighted of famous coaches and players praising the club, overpraising Flamengos coach.
The biggest priblem with overpraise is that it makes you arrogant. Before the match, Flamengo's coach said in an interview: "We wont give up our characteristics.".
This was the same as saying they would play against Bayern like they play against the weakest team here: an offensive game, abusing of technical move while tactical aspects are neglected.
The result is that the players werent emotionally ready to play an open match against someone far superior. Everytime they tried to play like they "usually do", Bayern stole the ball and scored. 3 goals with the same pattern: stupid player trying to play "beatifully", then losing the ball.
This shows Brasil learned nothing since the terrible 7x1 against Germany.
Flamengo pretty much embodies the mentality brazillians wants for their national team: a team that favors techinique over strategy and tactics, and ignore the opponent strengths.
Like decades ago, such arrogance is no match against a team that is superior than you.
4x2 wasnt what I expected. I wish it was at least 5 or 6 goals instead.
Unfortunelly for brazillians, they media, insted of recognizing their mentality is plain wrong, the highlights are: "Flamengo played an even match against Bayern".
This is the main reason our national clubs is so weak nowadays.
Never gonna regain their status while looking down everyone, including someone that is better than you...
