Hello, Willian Aaron!
On the eve of the match against the Alagoas team, midfielder Willian Arão gave a press conference at Ninho do Urubu and spoke about the style of play he has been having with coach Marcelo Salles.
"Marcelo prefers me to play a little further back, not coming out so much, and I do what the coach asks of me. With Abel, I started further forward, the marking itself was more forward. I don't have the freedom I had before, but it's fine."
