After the game, the striker revealed the friendship he has with Léo Ortiz since childhood, however, he stated that the Rubro-Negro defender didn't want to talk much, as he left the field very angry.

— 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 that - , 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 - , finalized 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 Brasileirão. Given this, the Rubro-Negro 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 failed to maintain the same rhythm and, as a result, saw Ceará grow in the game. In one of those opportunities, Lucas Mugni hit a cross on Pedro Raul's head, who, taking advantage of Rossi's indecision when leaving the goal, left the score at 1-1.
