On Monday (2), defender Léo Ortiz participated in the program “Resenha do Jogo”, on FlaTV, after playing a great game and scoring a goal in Flamengo’s 3-2 victory over Internacional, at Maracanã. The number 3 spoke about his good performance and much more. Check out some excerpts from the interview:

About the game
"We expected a very even match, and that's exactly what we saw at the start. From the first goal onwards, we took control of the game and set a very strong pace. Within a few minutes, we were 3-0 up. The second half evened out a bit, especially because with the advantage, we tried to control the game a bit more. The wear and tear showed after the high tempo in the first half. We didn't have a bad second half; we had chances to extend our lead."

About the goal
"It's a play we practice a lot, because there were some games where we couldn't get an advantage from this type of play. Alegria (Filipe Luís's assistant), a set-piece specialist, was taking the shots and working with us on this type of play. Afterwards, I ended up going to the bench because he's a guy who really dedicates himself to helping us improve in this area. So, I went there to thank him."

Platinum your hair
"It was a promise. If I won the Copa do Brasil, I'd look like a Super Saiyan. So I had to do this crazy thing. But I think it turned out cool; I liked the new style. She liked it too, and now the goal came with platinum hair. Everything's going well; I'm very happy with my current situation."
