Dorival Júnior is recognized for his ability to revitalize teams and achieve significant results. His tenure at Flamengo exemplifies his success, where he took over the club during a period of turbulence and led it to important victories, including the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. His strategic approach and ability to motivate players were fundamental in stabilizing the team as one of the main competitors on the national scene.
Recently, Dorival accepted the challenge of commanding the Brazilian team, receiving recognition for his achievements throughout the years. years. In the first friendlies under his leadership, Brazil demonstrated resilience and adaptation against strong opponents, such as England and Spain. The 1-0 victory over England and the exciting 3-3 draw with Spain highlighted Dorival's ability to prepare the team to face varied challenges.
In parallel, Dorival Jr evaluates the call-up of Léo Ortiz, Flamengo defender, to join the team. Despite his position as a reserve at Flamengo, Ortiz is being watched by the coaching staff, and Dorival is closely monitoring his performance. With the possibility of a sale of Fabrício Bruno, Flamengo believes that Ortiz will have more opportunities to demonstrate his potential and contribute to the team under Dorival's guidance.
The arrival of Léo Ortiz to Flamengo, made official in March 2024, marks a significant and strategic investment by the Rio club in solidifying its defense. Bought for 7 million euros (approximately R$37.6 million at current prices), Léo Ortiz not only arrives with the responsibility of strengthening the defense, but also with the status of being the third most expensive defender in Flamengo's history. This investment reflects the club's confidence in its potential to significantly strengthen the red and black defensive line, crucial to the club's ambitions in national and international competitions.
Léo Ortiz's transfer also includes performance clauses that , if complied with, could increase the total cost of your acquisition. If the defender significantly contributes to winning important titles wearing the Flamengo shirt, the club will have to pay an additional 1 million euros (around R$5.3 million) as a bonus to Bragantino. This additional payment would increase the player's total cost to R$43 million, making Ortiz surpass the amounts previously paid by Léo Pereira and Gamarra, who until then led the ranking of most expensive signings for a defender at the club.
Expectations surrounding Léo Ortiz are high, not only because of the financial investment, but also because of what he can offer in technical and tactical terms. His experience and quality are seen as fundamental to Flamengo's defensive strategy, which seeks to not only solidify its defense but also build a stable platform for continued success on all fronts of competition. Ortiz already made his debut for the club last Wednesday (10), in a Libertadores match against Palestino, where he not only had a solid defensive performance, but also left his mark by scoring a goal.
