Leo Moura: "Not every draw is bad"

The captain believes that points earned in difficult matches should be valued.

Flamengo's 16 draws were the subject of questions in interviews and even conversations among the players after the match against Ceará. According to the current points system, if every five draws were to translate into two wins and three losses, the team from Gávea would have three more points in the standings.

But the athletes don't believe that the results achieved in some of these draws should be lamented. In Wednesday's match (November 03.11rd), for example, despite the team taking the lead, captain Leo Moura believes that returning from Fortaleza with a point was good.

"It's difficult for any team to arrive at Castelão with the attitude we had. We had a bit of bad luck at the end, but the team is on the right track, it's playing the way Flamengo should play," said the full-back, who stressed that not every draw is bad.

"We have to analyze the circumstances of the games we drew. Against Ceará, we were ahead, but they managed to equalize. It's always important to get points away from home, and at home, the intention is always to win. Not all the games we drew were bad results," he noted.

The captain also took the opportunity to address the criticism directed at the young goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba. According to him, the number 29 deserves all the support from the group.

"We absolutely cannot crucify Lomba. He's a guy who has saved us many times, he has credit with the group. Flamengo is a team. It's not just him in goal or Deivid up front. We have to think like that and support him. It's in difficult moments that a player excels," he concluded.
