He stressed that “the standards that I found in the club exceeded my expectations before signing, and I see that Al Jazira is one of the most professional clubs in the region, not only in terms of the quality of facilities and infrastructure, but also in terms of attention to the smallest details related to preparing and developing players.” He considered that the work system within the club embodies the true meaning of professionalism, as the players enjoy integrated administrative and technical support that helps them give their best in every match.”

The Brazilian defender pointed out that his choice to join Al Jazira was the right decision in his career, as it came after a careful study of the club’s path and ambitions.

The former coach of Willian Rocha in Portimonense, the Portuguese Ricardo Pessoa, said that Rocha is a player with a strong personality on and off the field, noting that he has closely followed his development since his move from Cova da Piedad to the Portuguese Premier League.

Pessoa, who followed the match between Al-Jazira and Ajman, explained to “Emirates Al-Youm” that Rocha has distinguished physical and technical abilities, and is good at playing in more than one position, but he sees him primarily as a solid center back, distinguished by strength in air balls and individual confrontations, in addition to possessing the calm necessary to build attacks from the back.

He added: “The player has shown consistency in his level over four consecutive seasons, as he is the type who easily adapts to different football schools and improves his performance every season. His move to Al Jazira is considered a successful step and an (excellent deal) that reflects his true value as a professional player capable of adding to any team wearing his logo.”
