What did Léo Pereira say about Léo Ortiz?

Léo Pereira is one of the main players in the defensive system of the Flamengo squad. In an interview before the closing ceremony of the Campeonato Carioca, the number 4 of Mengão made a point to praise the entire red-and-black squad and spoke about his partnership with Léo Ortiz.

— We have a very good connection, we’re managing to keep up a good rhythm. The defensive system is also well-trained and whoever is on the field will represent Flamengo very well -, said Léo Pereira in an interview this Monday (09).

It’s important to note that in the State Championship final, Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz were Flamengo’s starting center-backs. The pair even collided during an aerial ball in the match against Fluminense, in which number 3 came off worse. In the end, both players converted their penalty kicks, which led to Mengão’s title at Maracanã.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE MORE CENTER-BACKS AVAILABLE IN THE SQUAD?

Yes! In addition to Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz, Flamengo also has Danilo and Vitão as options for the defense. The last name mentioned arrived in the most recent transfer window and is still looking for more opportunities in the starting lineup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With the pair available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Wednesday (11) to face Cruzeiro, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
