Flamengo's current squad achieved a feat not even the golden generation of 1981 could match: debuting with a victory in the Copa Libertadores da América. The team replicated the achievements of the 1984 group, the only one in Flamengo's ten appearances in the competition to start the international competition on the right foot. With goals from Leonardo Moura and Adriano, coach Andrade's team made history on this night, as the 1981 champions graced the Maracanã stadium.

Former defender Mozer, who watched the match from the special seats, emphasized the importance of a well-prepared mentality in a competition as competitive as the Copa Libertadores. The former defender believes that focusing on the competition is essential to achieving good results.

\

"The important thing is to stay focused, calm, and maintain concentration from the start of the game until the end. The Libertadores is a difficult championship, where the psychological aspect also makes a big difference," he said.

\

For the '81 Libertadores champion, Flamengo is indeed a contender for the title. Mozer believes that, regardless of possible regulation changes or anything like that, what matters is what happens on the field.

"They can change the rules, whatever they want, but football is always football. Flamengo always plays to win. There's no mystery. The team took to the field to show its superiority and did so very well, deserving the victory," he added.
