Former defender Mozer was present at the event celebrating the two-year anniversary of the Flamengo Museum, located in Gávea, the club’s social headquarters. After the celebration, the idol highlighted the current moment of the Rubro-Negro defensive system and pointed out an interesting factor for the success of Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira in the team.
— The defensive system of Flamengo is doing well, thank God. Defensively, the team has improved a lot and offensively they are having a very attacking presence, even scoring goals. Now, we’ve seen Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira scoring goals. The key is to keep working well, said Mozer at the Flamengo Museum on Thursday (14th), in Gávea.
Yes! Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira have recently scored goals in Flamengo matches. Starting with the number 3, who scored the winning goal for Mengão against Atlético-MG at Maracanã, in the Brasileirão. The other mentioned player found the net at the ‘Sacred Temple’ in Rubro-Negro’s victory over Mirassol last Saturday (8th).
With the ‘goal-scoring instinct’ of Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, Flamengo is enjoying a good phase this season. That’s because, last Wednesday (13th), the Rubro-Negro took the lead in the series against Internacional, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
With a 1-0 scoreline, Flamengo can draw by any score and still secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. However, if Internacional repeats the result from the first leg, the match will be decided by penalties. The ‘decider’ between the teams takes place on Wednesday (20th), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.
Before that, however, Flamengo will take the field again to face Internacional, this time for the Brasileirão. Looking to maintain their lead, the Rubro-Negro faces the team from Rio Grande do Sul on Sunday (17th), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), in Porto Alegre. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show all the details of the match on YouTube.
