Flamengo's new defender, Leonardo, will make his debut for the club on Sunday against Resende at the Maracanã. The player is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play in front of the fans.

"Playing for Flamengo is different because it's the biggest club in Brazil. I was at the Maracanã for the last few games, and I saw that the Flamengo fans are wonderful."

The defender hopes to make a great debut against Resende.

"I want to make the most of this opportunity. It will be a very important game, and I'm confident we'll put on a good performance."

Despite his short time at the club, the player believes in a good understanding with Thiago Salles, a possible defensive partner in Sunday's game.

"We've only had two training sessions together, but Thiago has many qualities, and we'll overcome the difficulties with a lot of communication on the field. We are prepared for the match."
