Accustomed to closely guarding key players on teams facing Flamengo, defensive midfielder Willians still doesn't know who he'll have to watch in tomorrow's derby. But the Flamengo number 8 stressed the importance of not being careless against Fluminense.

For him, trying to neutralize just Thiago Neves won't make Flamengo's life any easier tomorrow.

"Thiago may not be in his best form, but he's certainly a game-changer. The problem is that Fluminense has at least two other players who can decide a match in a single play. That's why Conca and Fred also need special attention. There's no point in focusing on just one of the three. We have to be fully focused," warned Willians, confident that the red-and-black defense will do the job, despite the youth of Fabrício and Welinton. "They're young, but they're already accustomed to tough games, even in their youth squads. They know what it's like to face Fluminense."

During this morning's training session at Gávea, before the break, coach Cuca took the opportunity to practice set pieces. Midfielder Toró took a knock to his left ankle, but it's not a concern for the derby.
