Felipe Melo states that goalkeeper Léo Jardim is responsible for preventing a Flamengo rout

Thus, former player Felipe Melo, idol of Fluminense, stated that the trend is for the Rubro-Negro to dominate even more. In a post on social media, the now commentator was incredulous at Mengão's performance in the derby.

— Flamengo looked like they were already in their tenth match of the season. And this wasn't even their starting eleven, but the team is very strong. They know how to play — highlighted Felipe Melo, adding:

— How long has Vitão been at Flamengo? He plays really well, right? And I also can't help but praise Léo Jardim. I'm going to sleep now. I promise. Léo Jardim. If it weren't for Léo Jardim, it would have been about four goals — said the former midfielder in a post on Instagram.

How did Flamengo beat Vasco?

The statistics show that the Most Beloved shot on target 12 times, while the opponent didn't manage a single shot. The match at Maracanã, however, ended only 1-0. That's because the opposing goalkeeper made at least four difficult saves.
