Approaching his 32nd birthday and 300th appearance for Flamengo, right-back Leonardo Moura appears to be enjoying a consistently good run of form while wearing the Manto Sagrado. Since 2005 at Gávea, he has played the most matches for Flamengo in the current squad and has already won five major titles and two awards as the best player in his position in Brazil.

"I always try to give my best. I know my importance to Flamengo and I know I can help the team a lot. Every time I step onto the field, I dedicate myself completely to helping the team achieve victories, and I'm very happy to have already added my name to the history of the club I love," he said.

Besides his talent and great plays, such as scoring 37 goals and providing 51 assists for teammates, Leo also stands out for his stamina. Even playing in a physically demanding position and at a somewhat advanced age, the number 2 continues to fly on the field.

"I try to work hard and have a well-regulated life off the field as well. I'm an experienced player, but in my position, it's important to have this kind of characteristic. I care about my physique and think it's essential to always be training to perform well. The work of the coaching staff is also very important. I've always had great professionals working with me," said the player, who thanked Leandro, the greatest right-back in Flamengo's history, for the praise.

"It's great to receive praise from Leandro. I'm speechless. He was a great player, and I know the responsibility of wearing this jersey. It's great to have this kind of support, and I hope it brings even better results for the rest of the season," he concluded.
