Flamengo returned on Friday afternoon (27) and is now focused on the match against Sport, for the Brazilian Championship. After training at Field 4, defender Léo Duarte gave a press conference and spoke about the good moment he is experiencing with the Manto Sagrado. The number 43 also praised his teammates.
"I'm happy with the confidence and the consistency. It's difficult to say who's a starter and who's a reserve, because the team has a lot of quality. Whoever comes in will do the job. Flamengo has a good team of defenders."
The defender also predicted a difficult duel against Sport next Sunday (29).
"It's going to be a tough game. The Brazilian championship is tough, regardless of whether you play at home or away. We have to go in focused to come away with the three points."
Even with the tight schedule, Léo Duarte guaranteed that he is physically fit and ready to play in all the matches that Mauricio Barbieri needs him to play.
"Barbieri and the committee are the ones who make the decisions. For me, I want to play all the time. I'm feeling good physically. Against Sport, it will be very difficult. We have to win, we count on the fans' support.
