Léo Ortiz spoke for the first time about the ‘no’ to Filipe Luís in the penalty shootout of the Intercontinental Cup final, between Flamengo and PSG. According to the defender, the denial was taken out of context.
Speaking of this situation (against PSG), I had a lot of courage to play with an injury against Racing. So for me it was a moment of much more courage than taking a penalty there, so there would be no reason for me to say no. I know, Filipe knows, Rodrigo (Caio), who is the guy with dead balls, who watches the training sessions, that I have never refused to take a penalty in my career. I’m calm, I hope people believe it and not in four seconds where you can’t see anything

The player also commented that lip reading, although an interesting foundation for understanding the nuances of the game, does not always bring something 100% true. Ortiz explained that this had happened before.
