Upon meeting his new teammates, the player received special affection from the starting player in his position, Leonardo Moura. A special moment for the 20-year-old, who began his career in Botafogo's youth divisions before playing for Friburguense. "Leo came to welcome me, gave me advice, and told me to always work hard to be ready when I get a chance. I was very anxious to get here, I was imagining what the reception would be like, but everything went well and I'm very happy," said Everton José Modesto da Silva, who was born on August 4, 1988. Like the vast majority of football players, Everton Silva didn't hide that he's experiencing a special moment in his professional career. "It's a childhood dream come true now. Flamengo is a showcase, a club that demands a lot of responsibility, and I'm here with great humility to work and prove my worth when necessary," stated Everton, listing his characteristics. "I'm a very strong player in attack, but I also know how to defend and I have skill."
