Tite continues preparing the squad for Flamengofor the match against Grêmio, this coming Thursday (13). With a week to train the team, the Mais Querido coach has been testing the players in new positions, as he will suffer from absences for 11 rounds of the Brasileirão. In this way, Léo Ortiz could be an "trump card" for the commander in a new role.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Léo Ortiz is training as a midfielder and could be a surprise for Tite in the role . It is worth remembering that Flamengo will not have Allan and Erick Pulgar against Grêmio.


Allan continues to recover from a muscle injury to the back of his right thigh. Erick Pulgar is currently playing for the Chilean National Team. Thus, Tite chose to train Léo Ortiz as a midfielder.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONT

So, with Léo Ortiz at his disposal, Tite continues preparing the Mais Querido for another game. The game will be against Grêmio, at Maracanã, at 8pm, next Thursday (13).


The clash valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão will be broadcast live throughout Brazil via Premiere, on pay-per-view. Mais Querido will be looking for three points to stay at the top of the competition.

In the next round of the Brazilian Championship, on the 5th, Flamengo will face Bahia at Fonte Nova. However, on Sunday night (29), the opponent is Athletico-PR, at Maracanã, at 8pm (Brasília time). For this match, two Mengão players are suspended: Léo Ortiz and Carlinhos, but only Ortiz was listed for the game, as Carlinhos was sent off in the last round.

If Léo Ortiz receives a yellow card against Athletico, he will not be able to play against Bahia in Salvador next weekend. Despite the risk, coach Tite will choose to choose the defender as a starter at Maracanã. Flamengo's likely team against Athletico is: Agustín Rossi, Wesley, David Luiz, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Alcaraz, Gerson and Matheus Gonçalves; Plata and Gabigol.


Léo Ortiz was also a starter in the match against Peñarol, on Thursday (26), for the Libertadores, but acted improvised as a midfielder. The player has stood out in this role since arriving at Flamengo. Now, Tite returns to select him in his original position as defender.

Likely Athletico-PR to face Flamengo

While Flamengo will make eight changes to its lineup, coach Lucho González lost midfielder Gabriel, who is suspended. Athletico-PR's possible team for the game at Maracanã is: Mycael; Léo Godoy (Madson), Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno and Esquivel; Erick, Christian and Zapelli; Cuello, Canobbio and Mastriani (Pablo).


Signed in 2024, Léo Ortiz has already scored a goal with the Flamengo. He contributed to Mengão's 2-0 victory over Palestino at Maracanã in the Libertadores group stage, playing as a defender.
