Luizinho ready to replace Leonardo Moura

With Leonardo Moura ruled out of tomorrow's match due to right knee pain, Luizinho was confirmed by coach Caio Júnior as the starter against Goiás. The player, who played in seven matches in this year's Brazilian Championship, acknowledges that it's difficult to play at a high level when you don't have a string of matches, but makes it clear that being a starter no longer intimidates him.

"Sometimes it's difficult to play as well as I do due to a lack of rhythm, but when I step on the field, I don't think about that. I've played in other matches this year and performed well. My mindset is always to play with maximum energy, knowing I can help the team win," said Luizinho, certain that the team won't disappoint the fans. "The last impression is the one that lasts. We'll do our part and continue fighting for a place in the Libertadores."
