After a great performance defending the Brazilian National Team, right-back Léo Moura returned this Friday afternoon in Gávea already thinking about the 2008 Libertadores. The full-back showed anxiety to enter the field on Wednesday, against Coronel Bolognesi, in the competition's debut.

- "It will be a super important game. I'm looking forward to playing a great game on Wednesday. We'll do our best to get off to a good start. Last year we were knocked out early, and we'll fight this year to win the title."

The full-back praised manager Joel Santana's decision to rest the starters in Sunday's Fla-Flu match.

- "I think Joel's decision is valid. We can't risk losing more players. The team that takes the field will be highly motivated and will play a great game."

Léo took the opportunity to assess his debut with the Brazilian National Team.

- "It was a positive debut. I received a lot of praise from Jorginho, Dunga and Joel himself. I will continue working hard here at Flamengo to be remembered for future call-ups."
