Since arriving at Flamengo last year, Willians has become known for his tenacious playing style and ball-winning ability. Such was his dedication on the field that the midfielder, who came from Santo André, became a key player in winning the sixth national title. And in addition to lifting the national championship trophy, he also received individual recognition for his good season. This happened again this year, even with Flamengo's inconsistent campaign.
Aware that this is not a time for celebrations, Willians thanked those who voted for him to once again compete among the best in the Brazilian Championship (he was nominated this Friday for best right-sided midfielder), but preferred to promise Flamengo fans a lot of effort and dedication in the match against Cruzeiro.
"I learned a lot this year. Last year, I had a very good time. This year, I learned from the coaches who came through here and I'm only improving. We're going to work. The players are the same, some left, some things happened, we were shaken, but we're recovering. What we need is heart and determination to get out of this situation. It's up to us. From the beginning of this situation, we've been well aware of what relegation could mean for Flamengo. That's why we're giving our all to avoid it," said Willians, before finally talking about the Best of the Brasileirão award.
"I can only thank those who voted for me. If I'm on the list again, it's a result of the work I've done, which has been very good. I have to put it into practice. Just being there makes me happy. Whether it's gold, silver, or bronze, I'll be very happy. Let's see what happens. There are strong players competing, Fabrício and Jucilei," concluded the midfielder.
