The thrashing of Flamengo by 3-0 over Remo started with a header from Léo Ortiz. Thus, the defender celebrated exuberantly at Maracanã. This is because, on Thursday (19th), the number 3 revealed his satisfaction at feeling good on the field again.
— The happiness is not just for the goal, but for returning, feeling good, truly feeling good on the field, confident and managing to do what I am used to doing, which I was not able to do due to lack of confidence at times, and that was frustrating me -, stated the defender, who added:
— So, happy. Of course, the goal is always important, but it's a relief to be able to feel confident again, do things, and help the team in the way I believe I can help -, highlighted Léo Ortiz to Flamengo TV after the triumph.
After the victory over Botafogo in the sixth round of the Brasileirão, the defender revealed he was still not satisfied with his own performances. Moreover, the Flamengo fans criticized the player for considering the defender overweight.
The team led by Leonardo Jardim thrashed Remo 3-0 in the seventh round of the Brasileirão. The goals were scored by Léo Ortiz, Samuel Lino, and Luiz Araújo, while the visitors had few opportunities to reduce the deficit.
