It is important to note that this is not the first time Léo Ortiz has taken part in Patriots activities. During another visit by the American team to Brazil, the defender was responsible for showing Gávea, Flamengo’s social headquarters, to the guests. Finally, besides the ‘oval ball’ sport, the red-and-black center back is also a basketball fan.
