Léo Pereira heads into Flamengo v Remo as world leader in key stat | OneFootball

Flamengo and Remo face off this Thursday (19th) in the seventh round of the Brasileirão

The good form of Léo Pereira goes far beyond his recent call-up to the Brazilian National Team. That’s because, among the top leagues in the world, the center-back is the Brazilian with the most successful passes in the last 12 months. Thus, the player is available to face Remo this Thursday (19th).

This statistic means that no other Brazilian player in the ten national leagues has completed more passes than the defender in the past year. The information comes from the “Sofascore” website.

How many passes has Léo Pereira completed in the last 12 months?

Passing is part of the profile of a center-back who builds up play. In Flamengo’s last match, for example, the defender missed only one of the 53 passes he attempted against Botafogo. Of the total, 19 were directed toward the attacking third.

What time is Flamengo vs Remo?

With Léo Pereira available, the match between Flamengo and Remo takes place this Thursday (19th), for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball will start rolling at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
