By Flamengo Archive - inA recreational training session held this morning in Gávea concluded Flamengo's preparations for tomorrow's Taça Guanabara final against Botafogo at Maracanã. After the session, coach Joel Santana had all the players take penalties, a method that could decide the title in the event of a draw in regulation time. Right-back Leonardo Moura believes the team is ready for the final and is paying attention to every detail that could decide the match. "We practice penalties and we also know that Botafogo has a good set-piece game. They've scored goals like that in recent games, and we know how we should play to avoid surprises," said the full-back. Leonardo Moura also hopes to maintain their record of never having lost a final to Botafogo. For the full-back, the fact that the match is decisive shouldn't change Flamengo's approach. "I hope to maintain that record and help Flamengo win the title. It's the most important game of the year, but that doesn't mean we'll change our approach." I will try to support the attack as I have been doing, because I know there is security in defense - said Léo Moura.\
