The midfielder felt very good in this afternoon's training session. The desire to play on Sunday was a very important factor in the athlete's recovery.

The training session was held under heavy rain and the grass was heavy, serving as a test for Claiton, who endured it without any problems.

The player analyzed the odds for the classic:

"The emotional aspect weighs heavily after a painful elimination like ours against Defensor and Botafogo's against Figueirense. We lost to Palmeiras and recovered against Goiás. I hope Botafogo recovers only after the derby," said Claiton.
