Léo Moura expects to return to training on Thursday and begin his preparation for the season. The right-back expects to be available to coach Andrade for the match against Bangu in the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. Until then, Everton Silva will be the starting right-back. Aware of his responsibility, the number 19 praises his teammate but believes he can do a good job.

Despite directly benefiting from Leonardo Moura's injury, Everton Silva isn't at all happy about what happened to the No. 2. Quite the opposite. Everton has nothing but praise for his teammate. According to him, Leo is a role model on and off the field and a very important player for his future career.

\

"I'm very sorry about Leo's problem. He's a great player, as well as a very good person. He always talks to me and shares a bit of his football experience," he explains.

Leonardo Moura became famous at Flamengo for his attacking attacks. Established at Gávea in 2005, he has won three state titles, a Copa do Brasil, and a Campeonato Brasileiro as a starter. He was even called up to the Brazilian national team and hailed as the best right-back in the country by Flamengo fans.

\

Everton understands the responsibility of replacing Leo and analyzes the differences between his style and his teammate's. He emphasizes Moura's offensive importance and asserts that he can replace him well, despite having more defensive characteristics.

\

"He's a more supportive player, especially because he's more skilled than me. I can help more defensively. With me, the team gains more strength and marking. I'll help the defense with the four-man line we form, and also with the quick transition from defense to midfield," he adds.
