Léo Ortiz was officially announced by Flamengo this Wednesday (06). On the same day, the defender published an emotional farewell to Red Bull Bragantino, the club he defended from 2019 until 2024. The athlete did not hide his gratitude to the São Paulo team, highlighting that he received the opportunity when “few people believed” and managed to reach the Seleção Brazilian.

“When few people believed in me, you called me (…). When we had our first international challenge, we went to the South American final. When the Brazilian team seemed distant for a player from a country club, it was wearing this shirt that I was called up. It was with this shirt that I defended, fought, fought, left everything on the field!”, said Léo Ortiz, in an excerpt published on social media.
ARRIVAL AT BRAGANTINO
In fact, Bragantino changed Léo Ortiz's level. The gaucho, revealed at Internacional, had spells at Sport and Red Bull Brasil, in consecutive loans in 2018 and 2019. However, at Red Bull Bragantino, the defender had success for the first time in his career, as an absolute starter and, in recent years, he won the captain's armband.
In addition, at the club, Léo Ortiz reached the Brazilian team, led by Tite, with the right to be called up for the Copa América 2021. The coach, in fact, was responsible for asking the signing of the defender for Flamengo. In this way, Rubro-Negro spared no effort and invested 7 million euros (R$ 37 million) plus 1 million euros (R$ 5 million) in bonuses.
The Brasileirão classic between Mais Querido and Cruzmaltino, scheduled for September 21, will be the fifth meeting between the teams in 2025 and promises a full house.

Flamengo opened the scoring against Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the Brazilian Championship. Despite controlling possession, the team had not yet created clear chances until a play on the left changed the course of the first half.
Galvão Bueno on Saúl's assist in the Juventude vs Flamengo match: "He doesn't make a cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta's head"
Samuel Lino accelerated down the left wing and found space to cross into the box. Spaniard Saúl Ñíguez, with great technique, delivered a precise pass to Arrascaeta's head , who rose through the opposing defense and finished firmly: 1-0 to Flamengo .
During the Prime Video broadcast, the commentator was full of praise for the play and, especially, for the Spanish midfielder: "All it takes is one space for this Flamengo team to be unmarked, and this happens. And this guy, Saúl, knows how to play football! He doesn't just cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta, who times the ball perfectly and gets between the defenders to score," extolled Galvão Bueno.
After the 2-0 win, Filipe Luís stated in a press conference that Saúl's performance could be "the best of his career." The Spaniard, however, disagreed and reflected on his experience in Brazil.
"I don't think so. I've had some really good moments in terms of everything, but right now I feel really good mentally . I'm lucky to have my family with me, accompanying me on this adventure. I know it's not easy for them, because I go out to train, spend time with my teammates, and enjoy what I do, but for those who are by our side, it's different. It's not easy to leave our country or any place. They do it for us, and I'm very grateful for that," said the number 8.
