"We need goals and they will score." The phrase from Flamengo's right-back and captain, Leonardo Moura, says it all: the confidence of the Flamengo fans in the attacking duo that will face Atlético Mineiro this Saturday (November 13.11th) is high. Diego Maurício and Diogo count on the support of all their teammates and also the Flamengo Nation to shine in Sete Lagoas.
The captain believes that, regardless of who was chosen to play up front, the whole group would be supportive. After all, unity is a hallmark of this squad, and the quality of all the forwards is undeniable.
"Regardless of who plays, we're rooting for everyone's success. On Saturday, Diogo and Diego Maurício will play, I believe they'll want to do their best and I'm sure they'll score the goals we need. Teammates have to support each other, just like I know Val Baiano and Deivid will be rooting for them," he assured.
The player believes that the pressure will be immense on Flamengo, but also on Atlético itself, with its fans anxious from the first minute of the game. Therefore, he calls for intelligence in attacking at the right moment and taking advantage of opportunities to seal the victory.
"It's a smaller field, but there's no mystery. We have to play simply and objectively to help Flamengo. The pressure on Atlético starts right from the start of the game, with the stadium full, and if we're smart, we'll take advantage of that. We have to be well positioned, come out at the right moment," analyzed the full-back, who appeared calm regarding the possible hostile atmosphere that could be found in Minas.
"Concern must always exist. The atmosphere of war should only be in the stands, but only in the shouting, without violence. Vanderlei just left there, the fans will certainly shout. But we need peace to work and for them to cheer," he concluded.
