Léo Ortiz is a big American football fan. The Flamengo player has highlighted several times that he watches NFL games. So, this Tuesday (02), the center back ‘announced’ that star Arthur Juan Brown, popularly known as A.J. Brown, was going to the Patriots.
“He’s a Patriot now!” Léo Ortiz posted on Instagram this Tuesday (02). In other words, the Flamengo defender celebrated A.J. Brown’s move to the Patriots. That’s because the defender is an outspoken fan of the Massachusetts team.
Yes! Léo Ortiz is enjoying his vacation days at Flamengo due to the break for the World Cup. Despite that, the player is recovering from a thigh muscle injury, which he suffered in the game against Coritiba last Saturday (30).
Léo Ortiz made the preliminary Brazil national team list for the World Cup. However, coach Ancelotti decided not to take the player, but did call up four other Flamengo players. They are: Léo Pereira, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Paquetá.
Now, Léo Ortiz will only return to the pitch on July 22 wearing the Flamengo shirt. O Mais Querido will face Chapecoense in Chapecó in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.
