What did Flamengo center back Léo Pereira say in a press conference this Friday (01)?

Center back Léo Pereira was honored for reaching 300 matches wearing the Flamengo shirt this Friday (01), at Ninho do Urubu. During the press conference, Mengão’s number 4 spoke about what it is like to have Danilo as a teammate at the Rubro-Negro club.

— I talk a lot with Danilo. He’s a guy who has won multiple titles, has everyone’s respect, and has added a lot since arriving at Flamengo. He gave us a Libertadores title, and there’s no way you don’t look up to someone like that and try to take in as much information as possible and everything that can help your career -, he said, before concluding:

— So I’m always close to him, always wanting to learn something. We’ve also had some conversations about the national team, about the possible book he’s going to write, so, yeah, we have several conversations like that, and I try to make the most of it, because he’s a very intelligent guy, not only on the field but off it as well –, concluded Léo Pereira.

HOW HAS DANILO’S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO BEEN?

Danilo is one of the most experienced players in Flamengo’s current squad. Number 13 joined the Rubro-Negro last season with extensive experience in European football. And in his very first year playing for the club he supports, the center back made history by scoring the goal that secured Mengão’s fourth Copa Libertadores title.
