Self-proclaimed Rubro-Negra, Mariana Gross joked during RJ1 this Friday (22)


What does the weather forecast of a Globo news program have to do with Flamengo? Depending on the point of view, everything. During the 'RJ1' program this Friday (22), the defensive system of Mengão was mentioned in an explanation about the blockage of the cold front, which is not reaching Rio de Janeiro. Presenter and Flamengo fan Mariana Gross made a point of remembering her favorite team in the part of the program that talked about the weather.

Invited to talk about the weather forecast, journalist Ana Paula Santos said: “That mass of hot air, Mariana, is still here. Making a blockage, not letting the cold front reach our state. It's like a wall here, a high-pressure system. That's what causes the blockage and doesn't let it pass,” she explained, before being interrupted by Gross.

“It's like Flamengo's defense, isn't it, Léo Ortiz, not letting anyone pass,” said the Globo presenter, laughing. Also a Flamengo fan, Ana Paula agreed: “That part is good (laughs)! Follow the leader! At least the cold front passes, Flamengo's, I hope it continues like this, blocking everything,” she concluded.

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S PERFORMANCE WITH LÉO ORTIZ?

In the last five games of Flamengo, with Léo Ortiz on the field, the team has only conceded one goal: against Mirassol, in the Brasileirão. In the next round, Mengão even conceded a goal, but the defender left in the second half, giving way to Danilo, when Borré scored for Internacional in the 3-1 win for Flamengo at Beira-Rio. Therefore, Mengão's defense is like the mass of hot air: it doesn't let anything pass.

ANOTHER GAME WITHOUT CONCEDING GOALS?

Thus, in great shape, Flamengo's defensive system will try to go another game without conceding goals on Monday (25). Therefore, Filipe Luís' team will face Vitória, at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match.
