LIVE: watch Léo Pereira's press conference from Flamengo's CT | OneFootball

Defender reached the 300-game mark for Flamengo

Last Sunday night (26) was more than special for Léo Pereira. That is because the center back reached the milestone of 300 matches played wearing the Sacred Jersey. Because of this, Flamengo will honor the player this Friday (01).

In short, Flamengo announced that Léo Pereira will hold a press conference after being honored. As usual, the Coluna do Fla team will be present at the event, which will take place after training this Friday (01).

Watch the defender’s press conference live:

It is worth noting that, in cases like this, Flamengo usually presents a commemorative plaque marking the milestone reached. In addition, the Rubro-Negro also tends to give a personalized Sacred Jersey with the number of matches played — in Léo Pereira’s case, 300.

What now?

It is worth noting that in Flamengo’s last match, Léo Pereira was unavailable because he was recovering from a deep cut to his shin. The defender needed stitches in the area after the match against Atlético-MG and did not play against Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG).

However, the expectation is that Léo Pereira will return for the match against Vasco on Sunday (03). The Clássico dos Milhões will take place at the Maracanã starting at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
