— Léo Ortiz is my brother since childhood. We practically grew up playing ball together. He's a guy I don't need to talk about 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 -, he declared, before concluding:

— He's a crack, it's no wonder what he's going through. Undoubtedly 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***ed. I know how much he likes me and I like him -, finished Pedro Raul in an interview with 'CazéTV' on Sunday (03).

HOW WAS THE FLAMENGO GAME AGAINST CEARÁ?

Flamengo took to the field in search of maintaining their isolated leadership in the Brazilian Championship. Given this, the Red-Black team 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 was unable to maintain the same rhythm and, as a result, saw Ceará grow in the game. In one of those opportunities, Lucas Mugni made a cross that hit Pedro Raul's head, and with the indecision of Rossi in the goal exit, the score was left at 1-1.
