Palmeiras use Léo Ortiz's artificial pitch dig to taunt Flamengo | OneFootball

What did Léo Ortiz say after Flamengo’s win over Independiente del Valle (ECU) in the Libertadores?

Flamengo qualified for the Libertadores semifinal, but the main topic after the match against Independiente del Valle (ECU) was the pitch. With that in mind, Palmeiras used part of Léo Ortiz’s remarks to take a jab at the Rubro-Negro over the use of synthetic turf.

Through social media, Palmeiras posted a video putting together several quotes from Flamengo players criticizing the condition of the Maracanã pitch. In one of the clips, the São Paulo club included the part where Léo Ortiz says that, faced with such a poor playing surface, synthetic turf is better. In the end, the club took the opportunity to taunt and posted: “Time is the ultimate judge.”

It is important to note that Léo Ortiz did not say he preferred synthetic turf, but he did make it clear that it is better to play on that kind of surface than on the Maracanã pitch in its current state. In addition, the number 3 hopes those responsible can solve the problem as quickly as possible.
