Léo Ortiz was praised by Flamengo fans on social media

The Flamengo drew with Ceará 1-1 this Sunday (03), at the Arena Castelão, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The red-black team opened the score with a collective goal: pass from Léo Ortiz, assist by Gonzalo Plata and finish by Arrascaeta. As a result, the defender was compared to Luka Modric, idol of Real Madrid (ESP).

At the 36th minute of the first half, Léo Ortiz controlled the ball at the edge of the box and, with a magical pass, found Gonzalo Plata. The Ecuadorian, free of marking, assisted Arrascaeta, who, alone, sent it to the back of the net and made it 1-0 for Flamengo. In this way, fans red-blacks commented on social media about the quality of the defender of Mengão and recalled the plays of Luka Modric.

HOW WERE THE REACTIONS?

Thus, the fans of Flamengo continued making comparisons on social media: “Léo Ortiz is the Luka Modric who decided to venture into defense”, said one. Finally, another fan mentioned the quality of the defender: “Can I say? Léo Ortiz is the number 10 of the defense.”

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

Now, with Léo Ortiz available, the Flamengo leaves the Brazilian Championship aside and returns to focus on the Brazil Cup. This is because, the red-black team faces Atlético-MG on Wednesday (06), at 7 pm (Brasília time), at the Arena MRV, in a match valid for the return match of the round of 16.
