Shirt 2 and the right side in positioning are the same. But not the heart. Flamengo idol and openly fan of the club, Léo Moura is the father of Lucca, 7 years old. He has been following in his father's footsteps in almost everything: except in his heart.
Lucca is a tricolor and plays for Fluminense's under-7 futsal team with the same number his father played for. He plays as a right winger.
"I always told him to play up front, but he always said he likes to play on the right side, which has more space", says Leo Moura.
Without hiding his heart red-black, the former player said that he tries to respect his son's decision to be Fluminense - a team he played for before his idolatry in Fla:
"I've always been Flamengo, since I was little. Most of the titles were wearing the shirt. I've always been Flamengo. I'm proud to wear the shirt of my childhood club. It's his decision, I respect him, his decision, I always try to respect it."
Léo Moura is one of the few former -players who played for the four big clubs in Rio de Janeiro. At Fluminense, the former right-back played 60 games, all in the 2004 season, and scored two goals. With Flamengo, Léo accumulated titles, including the 2009 Brasileirão and the 2006 and 2013 Brazilian Cups. In addition, he was five-time Rio champion. He stayed at the club from 2005 to 2015 and played 519 - the seventh player with the most games for Fla.
Fluminense faces Flamengo this Saturday, at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm, in a game from the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship . With 46 points, Flu is eighth - the team is not fighting for the title and is guaranteed in Conmebol Libertadores 2024.
