In modern football, defenders increasingly need to play, with quality when exchanging passes. This is one of the main characteristics of Léo Ortiz, Flamengo's new reinforcement, officially presented this Friday (08). Fans of Bragantino, the athlete's former club, joked that the defender was 'shirt number 10' who played in the defensive sector, a point that made the red-black number 3 laugh.
— Agree that a number 10 Is playing defense difficult (laughs)? But it is my characteristic to help a lot in building the team. I always like to emphasize that the main objective of a defender is to help the defensive system. Of course, it's a bonus in this part of construction. I believe Tite thought a lot about this. It was something he valued in the Brazilian team and has valued in Flamengo - said Léo Ortiz.
— We see the players here with these characteristics. So, I arrive with the objective of helping the team in the defensive part and, when I have the opportunity to be effective in building, whether in a short or long pass, to play my role too -, added Léo Ortiz, in a press conference at Ninho do Urubu.
READY FOR GAME
This season, Léo Ortiz made ten appearances, two goals and one assist for Red Bull Bragantino. Furthermore, the defender's last match was on February 27th, against Águilas Doradas (COL), in the Libertadores. In other words, the athlete will have no problem getting in shape with the Sacred Mantle.
REGULARIZED
In this way, Léo Ortiz is at Tite's disposal to debut for Flamengo on Saturday (09), when Rubro-Negro faces Fluminense, in the first game of the semi-finals of the Campeonato Carioca. Despite being ready, Flamengo's new reinforcement must start the duel on the bench. Therefore, Fabrício Bruno (recovered from a broken nose) and Léo Pereira are the favorites to start the decisive classic, with Léo Ortiz as an option.

With long strides and good aerial ability, the youngster draws attention for his physical maturity and ability to read space in attacking transitions.
Jhon Kennedy, meanwhile, arrives with the nickname "Cuiabano" (Cuiabano) due to his physical resemblance to the Botafogo full-back.
