Replacing Leonardo Moura is no easy task. Everton Silva knows this and still has the support of the owner of the number 2 jersey. The starting full-back's sprained right ankle will give the young player, signed in early 2008, another opportunity. And, if it's up to Leo, he'll do very well. A personal friend of Everton Silva, Leo expressed complete confidence in his teammate.
"He's not only a friend, he's also a very high-quality player. And if he weren't, he wouldn't be here. The team is gaining strength, gaining marking, and not just me, the whole group has complete confidence in him. I'm sure he'll do well and help Flamengo on Sunday," said Léo.
Leonardo Moura's praise was warmly received by his replacement. Everton, who considers his teammate the best player in his position currently playing in the country, is aware of the responsibility that will come with stepping onto the field on Sunday.
"He's a very technical player. I score more, I'm stronger, and I'll do my best to replace him. I know my responsibility. He's not just anyone. In my opinion, he's the best full-back in Brazil. I'll really have to do my best to do well," said Everton Silva.
Apparently, Everton will have another opportunity next Wednesday against Tigres. Recovering from an injury, Leo Moura believes he will only be available to coach Andrade next weekend.
"I think I'm getting a little better and I believe I'll be fine in the next few days. I don't know if I'll be available midweek. Maybe I can play next weekend," explained the number 2.
