What was Léo Ortiz's attitude after the Flamengo vs Ceará game?

Flamengo was winning the game against Ceará, but Pedro Raul scored the equalizing goal for the Ceará team, leaving the final score at 1-1. After the game, the striker revealed his childhood friendship with Léo Ortiz, but stated that the red-black defender didn't want to talk much, as he left the field very angry.

— Léo Ortiz is my brother since childhood. We practically grew up playing ball together. He's a guy I don't need to say how much I like and root for him. We crossed paths a few times, but today (Sunday) he was a bit angry, you have to respect that - , he declared, before concluding:

— He's a crack, it's no wonder what he's living. The best defender in the championship and in Brazil. He has to play and be in the World Cup. I root a lot for him. Friendship is good, and I don't need to give him a hug after the game because I know he was p***. I know how much he likes me and I like him -, concluded Pedro Raul in an interview with 'CazéTV' on Sunday (03).

HOW WAS THE FLAMENGO VS CEARÁ GAME?

Flamengo took to the field in search of maintaining their isolated leadership in the Brazilian Championship. Given this, the Red-Black imposed pressure in the first half and managed to take the lead, with a goal from Arrascaeta after a beautiful play started by Léo Ortiz.

In the second half, Flamengo failed to maintain the same rhythm, and with that, saw Ceará grow in the game. In one of those opportunities, Lucas Mugni hit a cross on Pedro Raul's head, who, counting on Agustín Rossi's indecision in leaving the goal, left the score at 1-1.
