Tiago Leifert hits out at Flamengo fans after Léo Pereira’s Brazil game | OneFootball

Former Globo host called Flamengo fans “sick” during a YouTube live stream

Although Carlo Ancelotti praised him, Tiago Leifert slammed Léo Pereira’s presence in the Brazilian National Team. As a result, Flamengo fans came to the defender’s defense and accused the former Globo host of bias.

— You can’t say anything bad about Léo Pereira. I’m being accused of bias—what team do you support, you who are defending Léo Pereira? Let’s see. Seriously, you need to get that out of your hearts,” the journalist said this Wednesday (01) during a live stream on YouTube.

And what did Tiago Leifert say about the defender?

The red-and-black center back made a risky pass during the loss to France in the first friendly. So, the broadcaster said the defender played a “hospital ball” that led to the goal. He also pointed out that Murilo, from Nottingham Forest, was left out of the call-up.

— Léo Pereira had a bad FIFA window (…) But obviously you’re a Flamengo fan, and only you sick Flamengo fans can look at this FIFA window and say that Léo Pereira deserves to be called up,” Leifert ranted.

But does Léo Pereira have a chance of going to the World Cup?

Since Brazil’s coach is not Tiago Leifert, Ancelotti acknowledged that the Mengão defender played well against France. The Italian then said he will monitor the domestic leagues to decide the squad for the World Cup.
