Flamengo hasn't faced Vasco in almost a year. The million-dollar derby only lasted once in 2009, also in the Rio Cup. Later, the São Januário team won the Brazilian Serie B championship, and Flamengo won the Serie A championship. Now, they meet again for one of the most anticipated duels of the Campeonato Carioca. Anxiously, right-back Leonardo Moura can't wait to face his rival again.
"This is the kind of game you miss playing. It's a great classic. We know it's going to be difficult and we hope Flamengo can come out on top," he said.
To leave the field with three more points and get their sixth victory of the season, Leonardo Moura believes the team will need a lot of intelligence.
"We have to attack intelligently. We can't rush into the attack. We have very high-quality players up front, and we have to wait for the right moment to pounce. After all, a classic is always decided by details. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes will come away with the victory," he explained.
Emperor - Leo's teammate in this Saturday's kick-off, Adriano is back at Flamengo after two games away from the field. And the number 2 doesn't hide his happiness with the return of his teammate and friend. According to him, the team benefits greatly from the presence of the top scorer.
"We want him to always be like this, happy and cheerful. The group is better with him and I believe that from now on it will be nothing but happiness. He is special and has a huge influence," he added.
