Léo Pereira: I owe Flamengo fans, we count on your support | OneFootball

Flamengo Fans Promise to ‘Pack’ Maracanã for the Match Against Lanús (ARG)

The start of the 2026 season for Flamengo was not quite what the red-black fans expected. Besides being runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil, Filipe Luís's team couldn't maintain the level shown in 2025. On the eve of the Recopa Sudamericana decision against Lanús (ARG), defender Léo Pereira admitted a feeling of ‘debt’ with the Nation.

— Playing at Maracanã, 60,000 people, always gives you butterflies. We count on this support from the fans to turn the result around. We really need to show what Flamengo is -, he said, before concluding:

— The expectation is very high, and we made it high. Of course, opponents study us, try to neutralize us. It’s easier to disarm than to attack -, concluded Léo Pereira, in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

Will Flamengo Fans Attend Maracanã in Large Numbers?

Yes! As usual, Flamengo fans promise to ‘pack’ Maracanã to watch the decisive match against Lanús. At this moment, over 55,000 tickets have been sold for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.
