Flamengo is still a little less than a month away from playing in the Brazilian Championship, but the players are already thinking about the match against Botafogo on July 14th. This is the case with midfielder Willians. Fully recovered from an arm injury, the player has made no secret of his desire to return to competitive action.

The midfielder's focus is already on the derby, and therefore, he believes that the offseason is crucial: the idea is to get the players in shape and at an optimal physical, technical, and tactical level for the clash against their rivals.

"I'm calm, preparing well and I'll keep working to return in the best possible way. Of course, I miss the games. We've lost a bit of rhythm, but the important thing now is to make an effort to arrive in good shape for the game against Botafogo," he said.

And for Willians, there's no better way to return to the field than in a classic.

"There's no better way to return than by playing a derby. There's still some time to go, but everyone is already thinking about this game, especially because winning a game like this boosts team morale. Furthermore, these three points are crucial for our standings," he concluded.
