After serving his suspension in last Saturday's (September 02.09nd) derby against Botafogo, left-back Juan will return to the Flamengo team for the match against Atlético-GO on Thursday (September 07.09th) in Volta Redonda. Excited about being able to return to the pitch, the number 6 is motivated to help his team achieve a victory in the direct confrontation with the Goianian team.
"It's always good to be back. It's bad to be on the sidelines and not be able to help your teammates. What a player likes to do most is be on the field to do his job," he said.
Aware that the match will not be easy, Juan predicts a balanced game and points out that Atlético has already achieved important results and is climbing the table.

"I hope to have a good game. We know it's a difficult match against a tough opponent who is fighting for position with us. They are a quality team that has already surprised many other teams in the competition, and we have to be careful," observed the full-back, who believes the team needs patience to leave the field with a victory.
\ \"We need to play intelligently. We can't just go on the attack any old way. We need the result, we'll be at home, but we need to be calm and know how to finish the game when the chance arises," he concluded.
