It was playing a bit further forward, as a second or even third midfielder, drifting to the right side of Flamengo's midfield, that defensive midfielder Willians began to stand out more while wearing the Flamengo shirt. Signed at the beginning of last year, the holding midfielder won over the fans with his dedication and high number of ball recoveries. And also for always leaving the field exhausted.
To prevent this physical strain from recurring, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo opted to change the player's positioning and play him a little further back. And he sees no problem in playing this way, and even assures that he feels comfortable playing this way as well, as he did at Santo André.
"If Luxemburgo told me to play further back, it's because he's thinking about what's best for the club and for me. I don't think this type of positioning causes me any problems. I've always played there, closer to, or even in the middle of, the defenders. Maybe his request is so I don't get so worn out," said the player, who guarantees he will fulfill all the coach's orders with his usual dedication.
"The change doesn't hinder me at all. He put me there so I could really get going. Anyway, I think I have a certain versatility. I can fulfill other requirements, and I guarantee one thing: I will do whatever he asks, always with great enthusiasm," he explained.
After serving his suspension in last Saturday's match against Internacional, the midfielder is excited to return to the team for Sunday's derby against Vasco.
"I'm happy to be back now, even more so against Vasco, and I hope to do everything the coach tells me to do to help the team get the victory," he concluded.
