One of Flamengo's standout players in the 2008 season, Léo Moura is confident of another great year for the red-and-blacks. The player praises the team's debut in the Campeonato Carioca and says Flamengo is ready to overcome all opponents.

- "It was important to start the season with a good win over Boavista. Now it's time to keep working to get results. We have to be very careful with teams considered small, because they are very difficult games. Cardoso Moreira made the game against Fluminense difficult, so we have to be smart to build on the result. The important thing is that Flamengo is prepared to face any opponent."

The full-back praised the team's new formation, with Jônatas and Marcinho among the starters.

- "They are two great players who will help us a lot. Jônatas has a great pass and knows how to get forward very well. Marcinho is a player who carries the ball better and opens up spaces in the opposing defense. Both have already shown that they are capable of wearing the Flamengo shirt."
