The defender Léo Ortiz practically threw in the towel on Flamengo's chances of being champion of Brazilian Championship. After the 2-0 defeat to Fluminense, the defender considered the possibility of Rubro-Negro starting in the competition as difficult and asked for full focus on the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, against Corinthians, at the weekend.
< p style="border: 1px solid rgb(197, 0, 24);">“It's difficult, it's distant (Brazilian title). But we have to take it game by game. Now we need to focus on the Copa do Brasil, which we have a decision on Sunday and then we have to think game by game (in the Brazilian Championship). It’s about looking for a victory in each match and then seeing what will happen until the end”, said Léo Ortiz.
At another point, the defender pointed out that the objective was to win the classic against Fluminense to arrive more confident against Corinthians. However, it was not possible. On the other hand, the São Paulo team thrashed Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão: 5-2 at the Neo Química Arena.
“Of course it's not good, we emphasize the importance of winning today to give more confidence for Sunday. But now it's time to pick up the pieces, identify what we got wrong, what we got right and focus on Sunday's game. We have a big decision, I hope we get out of there classified”, he concluded.
