Flamengo defenders point to the changes in Filipe Luis

Leo Ortiz is a starter alongside Filipe Luis, but Fabricio Bruno is on the Flamengo bench.

Flamengo reached the Copa do Brasil final thanks in large part to their defence. After all, of the eight matches Rubro Negro played in the tournament, Mingão only conceded once. After 0-0 with Corinthat the Neo Química Arena, Fabricio Bruno and Leo Ortiz spoke about the major changes in the system with the arrival of coach Filipe Luis.

Fabricio Bruno was a substitute in the coach’s first two matches against Corinth And Bahia. However, he played from the beginning against Fluminense and entered the first half on Sunday (20). In response to a question from the Colonna de Fla report, the No. 15 revealed that he needed to have a conversation with Filipe Luis to understand what the captain wants.

— I didn’t have that direct conversation with Felipe, because when he arrived, I was out for two games. I played against Fluminense, and I came back today. We need to have that conversation to try to understand what’s going on or what he wants, what he likes, so I can get back to performing the way I’ve always performed. I am ready to help the club in the best way possible. Play or join the game – said Fabricio Bruno, in the mixed area of ​​the New Quimica Arena.

Speak up, Leo Ortiz

The person who also responded to Colonna de Fla’s report is Leo Ortiz. Unlike his partner in the position, the Gaucho has become a regular and present player in all of Filipe Luis’s lineups. The defender said that the coach asks a lot of athletes to play without kicks.

— It gives us a lot of freedom to play, try to get out of pressure, and break the pressure. The two defenders and the two midfielders are always close so that we have the quality to get out from the back, break the pressure lines and provide the midfielders and attackers between the lines. Felipe asks them not to come looking for too much, because he knows we have the quality to play and score goals closer. That’s it and I’m happy with the rating – Ortiz commented.
