Coach Filipe Luís made a point of recognizing Bayern Munich’s superiority after the elimination of Flamengo on Sunday (29) at the Club World Cup. The German team won 4-2 and received praise from the red-black coach during the post-game news conference.

Filipe highlighted the pressure exerted by Bayern in the Flamengo defense field. The Germans opened 2-0 and, even after the red-black diminished the difference, they were imposing difficulties for leaving the Brazilian team.

“We took the first corner goal and took the second goal in a flaw in the ball. Then we had a lot of volume and were able to score the first goal. From that moment, when Bayern took us to our area, we couldn’t get out,” said Philip.

The flamenco coach continued with his speech, highlighting also tactical and physical aspects of the Bavarian team.

“It’s a team with immense quality. They don’t lose the ball, they suffocate you, their post-loss pressure is very strong, physically they left. We tried to go out a few times in counterattack with Arrascaeta and Plata, and they came back with six, seven players at the same time. It’s a team superior to us, and so they went,” he concluded.

Classified for the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, which ran over Inter Miami 4-0, also this Sunday.

In turn, Flamengo looks back carefully at the remaining competitions of the season. Red-Black is the leader of the Brazilian Championship and is alive in the round of 16 Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup, where he will face Internacional and Atletico-MG, respectively.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán classified Saturday’s pride parade as “repulsive and shameful”, accusing the European Union of guiding opposition politicians organizing the event, which became an old protest, the local media reported on Sunday.

The march in Budapest to LGBTQ+ has become one of the biggest opposition demonstrations to Orbán in recent years, when about 100,000 participants have challenged police ban and threats of fines to participate in the demonstration.

Speaking of an online group closed to his supporters named Club da Fight on Sunday, Orbán said that opposition politicians instructed by “Brussels” had called on their voters to participate in the event in large numbers, according to the Local Index News Agency.

“Since yesterday, we are even more certain than these people [políticos de oposição] They cannot approach the command of the government. And we won’t allow it, ”Orbán told his supporters, according to Index.

He showed no evidence for his comments. But the event was organized by the municipality of Budapest, led by Mayor Gergely Karacyry, and Orbán’s government accuses him of being a “puppet” of Brussels for years.

Reuters contacted the organizers of the parade and the city, but they did not respond immediately.

The European Commission refused to comment on Orbán’s statements.

The prime minister told his supporters that he considered the events of the “repulsive and shameful” pride parade, specifically mentioning a drag queen show, men wearing high heels and leaflets on hormonal therapies.

The march was prohibited based on a law approved in March that allows the prohibition of pride stops, citing the need to protect children.

Orbán opponents see the ban as part of a broader repression of democratic freedoms before next year’s national elections, when the veteran Prime Minister-whose party dominated Hungary’s political scenario for 15 years-will face a strong opponent.

On Friday, Orbán said that the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who the week asked the Hungarian authorities to allow the pride parade, considered Hungary “as a subordinate country” and compared his message to the receipt of Moscow orders at the time of communism.

Reuters could not independently confirm the content of the Prime Minister’s message cited by Index. A government spokesman did not immediately answer Reuters’ questions about the authenticity of the report.

The Orbán government, which promotes a conservative Christian agenda, gradually reduced the rights of the LGBTQ+ community over the past decade. His government advocates restrictions by saying that the need to protect children overcome all other rights.

BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called Saturday’s Pride “repulsive and shameful”, accusing the EU of directing opposition politicians to organise the event, which turned into an anti-government protest, local media reported in Sunday.

The march in Budapest for LGBTQ+ swelled into one of the largest displays of opposition to Orban in recent years, as an estimated 100,000 participants defied a police ban and threats of fines to join the demonstration.

Speaking in a closed online group for his supporters called Fight Club on Sunday, Orban said opposition politicians instructed by “Brussels” had called on their voters to attend the event in large numbers, according to local news outlet Index.

“Since yesterday, we are even more certain that these people [opposition politicians] must not be allowed near the helm of government. And we will not allow them,” Orban told his supporters, according to Index.

He did not offer any evidence for his comments. But the event was organised by the municipality of Budapest, led by mayor Gergely Karacsony, and Orban’s government has accused him of being a “puppet” of Brussels for years.

Reuters has contacted Pride organisers and the city hall but they did not immediately respond.

The European Commission declined to comment on Orban’s reported remarks.

Orban told his supporters that he found the events at the Pride march “repulsive and shameful,” specifically mentioning a drag queen show, men wearing high heels and pamphlets on hormonal therapies.

The march had been banned based on a law passed in March that allows for the prohibition of Pride marches, citing the need to protect children.

Orban’s opponents see the ban as part of a wider crackdown on democratic freedoms ahead of a national election next year when the veteran prime minister – whose party has dominated Hungary’s political scene for 15 years – will face a strong challenger.

On Friday Orban said that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who earlier this week called on Hungarian authorities to let the Pride parade go ahead, regarded Hungary “as a subordinated country” and likened her message to receiving orders from Moscow in communist times.

” Disgusting and shameful .” This is how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban described the Pride march held yesterday in Budapest , accusing the European Union of having tasked opposition politicians with organizing the event, which turned into an anti-government protest. Reuters reports on its website, citing local media.

“Since yesterday we are even more convinced that these people should not be allowed near the helm of government. We will not allow it .” Orban then criticized the ” drag queen shows on stage, men in high heels and brochures on hormone therapy .”

“Yesterday was also instructive,” Orbán later said, according to Hungarian media reports. “ Brussels issued an order for the Pride to be held in Budapest. Their puppet politicians carried out the order . This is evidence of what our lives would be like if the country were not led by a national government that would protect our sovereignty .” “Since yesterday, we know with even greater certainty that these people should not be allowed to take the helm,” the prime minister said.

“No matter how aggressively Brussels, Western media and NGOs promote ‘gender propaganda’,” Balazs Orban, the Hungarian Prime Minister’s political director, said on social media, “the numbers speak for themselves: the majority of Hungarians agree with the government’s position: Not in front of our children!” he said, listing several polls that allegedly show that “the majority of Hungarians are against the Pride parade.”
