Late Monday afternoon, some great news arrived in Gávea: right-back Léo Moura had been called up to the Brazilian national team for the friendly against Ireland on February 6th in Dublin. The player, who replaces Maicon, expressed his joy at his first opportunity in a national team jersey.

- "I heard the news from the vice president of football, Kleber Leite. I'm very happy with this opportunity, which I've been seeking for a long time. I'll continue working hard at Flamengo, to be remembered for future call-ups."
