No, Flamengo fan, you're not reading the credits for the photo sequence on the wrong side. That's right, they were taken by right-back Leonardo Moura, using the camera from Flamengo's official website. A photography fan since childhood, the number 2 had already "played" as a photographer during Flamengo's preseason in Itu, and did so again upon the group's return to Rio de Janeiro.

"I've always liked photography. I like taking pictures; it's always been a hobby. I often joke around with press photographers too. I think it's a very interesting profession," said Leo.

During training last Friday (09.07), the target of the full-back's photos was Chilean Fierro, who recently returned from South Africa, where he played in the World Cup for his national team. This Monday, it was Willians and Everton Silva who had to endure their teammate's teasing.

"It's important to have joy in the workplace. This kind of thing helps to relax, which is always good. I joke around a lot with the people here; everyone really likes each other, and that's essential," he added.

"Photographer" Leonardo Moura is one of Flamengo's weapons for Wednesday's match (14.07), against Botafogo, at 21 pm, at Maracanã. The classic is valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão and marks the return of both teams to the competition, after the tournament was stopped for the World Cup.
