Volta Redonda (RJ) - One of the main leaders of the Flamengo group, the right-back and captain, Leonardo Moura, has a strong connection with the club. Therefore, he knows well what it's like to arrive at the club of his heart, as is happening with coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, in his third stint at Flamengo. For this reason, he knows that the confidence and optimism that Luxemburgo instills in the players are fundamental.
"Vanderlei comes with a different mindset, to make us, the players, look upwards and not towards the relegation zone. He's a winner, everyone knows that, and he's super important for the group right now," said the full-back.
Flamengo's captain, Leo Moura, believes it's important that not only he be a leader of the group, but that all the players communicate, hold each other accountable, and strive for results. Furthermore, he believes it's necessary to forget all the bad moments that have passed and focus only on the future.
"Everyone knows I'm the captain today, but everyone talks, demands, and that's how we're going to get to the top of the table. Now it's time to move forward, a new stage with a new coach. What's in the past is a closed chapter. We have to look ahead, because only then will we achieve greater goals in this championship," said Leo, who stressed that the group is doing what it takes to deserve a better position in the standings.
"Things will get better eventually. We deserved this. The group worked hard, persevered, never gave up, and that only motivates us to go onto the field and motivate others. Vanderlei even put it well: don't complain to your teammate, but rather motivate them, so that in the next play they can make a good move," he added.
