Dedication was truly the word that best defined Flamengo's victory over Ceará this Saturday (August 14.08) at Maracanã. Coach Rogério Lourenço praised the team's dedication, and the players themselves emphasized their determination in the duel. Midfielder Willians, in a post-match press conference, also emphasized that the result will give the team peace of mind to work during the week.

"It was a victory of great determination and determination. Our team is not in a very good moment and thank God we were able to play a good game. It wasn't a great victory, but it gives us more peace of mind," he said.

Responsible for the play that resulted in Petkovic's penalty kick to give Flamengo the win, Willians launched himself into attack with Leonardo Moura on the right flank. The pair's chemistry was praised by the number 8.

"I felt like the right side was very good for attacking. The plays flowed and today we were able to make a lot of plays in that sector," he said.

We are well-coordinated, I felt I could go ahead and I did", observed the player who, as usual, left the field exhausted and applauded by the fans.

"I'm definitely putting in a lot more effort than I did last year. I love Flamengo, I like the club, and I have to get on the field. If it depends on me, I'll never lack energy while I wear the red and black shirt," he added.
