Léo Ortiz to Flamengo's rivals: Everyone wants what we've got | OneFootball

Léo Ortiz called on Flamengo fans for the derby against Vasco

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (21) against Vasco, aiming to maintain their isolated lead in the Brazilian Championship. Thus, defender Léo Ortiz called on the rubro-negra fans and asked for their support to keep the momentum going this season.

— We already switch gears from one competition to another. We are leading the Brazilian Championship and we know that everyone is after what we have. So, in every match, especially in a derby, we need to defend what everyone wants. Now, the focus is on another competition, another goal: to be champions of the Brasileirão — said Léo Ortiz.

— This depends a lot on playing at home, where the Nation will pack Maracanã so we can win and stay motivated in the championship. We know that a win in a derby gives us extra motivation for the rest of the season — added the Flamengo defender.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING?

Flamengo defeated Estudiantes (ARG) last Thursday (18), 2-1, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Pedro and Varela scored the two goals for Mengão, giving them an advantage over the Argentinians.
