Two days before Flamengo's debut in the Brazilian Championship, midfielder Willian Arão gave a press conference this Friday (07) at Ninho do Urubu. Through FlaTV, the red-black answered questions sent by the press and, among other subjects, spoke about the beginning of the work of the Catalan coach Domènec Torrent. Check it out:

Dome's first training sessions
"This first week of training has been very good. It's hard to pinpoint the differences between Dome's work and Jorge's, but they exist. It's been a good week, and I think we're preparing well to go into Sunday and play a good match and get the win."

Debut against Atlético-MG
"They're a great team, with very decisive moves. Last year we played against Sampaoli's Santos, and now we'll play against Atlético, under his command. He's a great coach who made some good signings, and their team has good quality players. We expect it to be a great game, and we'll try to neutralize their strengths and leave the field with the victory."  

Flamengo is different with Dome
"I think they're different working methodologies, with different thoughts and ideas. So I believe we'll inevitably undergo some changes and introduce new things. We hope to adapt as quickly as possible and understand what he wants, so we can put it into practice, always striving for victories and titles."

Communication with Dome

"It's very understandable. He's already saying some key words in Portuguese. This communication aspect is going very smoothly, because we have many players who already speak Spanish. Dome is able to convey everything he wants to us, and we're getting the hang of it."

Next Sunday (09), Flamengo takes to the field to make its debut in the Brazilian Championship against Atlético-MG, at 16 pm, at Maracanã.
