Flamengo's attacking midfielder Lorran is one of the club's emerging talents and could be on coach Ramon Menezes' call-up list for the Brazilian Under-20 Team. Despite not being in his best phase, Lorran has characteristics that stand out and place the young athlete in the sights of future youth teams. With a similar profile to Rayan, from Vasco, who recently received an opportunity in the national team, Lorran has the potential to be an important player in the next call-up cycles, as long as he manages to resume his good performance.

Like Vasco native Rayan, Lorran is going through an important transition in his career. Both athletes are young, but they are already experiencing the pressure of meeting expectations in teams of great importance in Brazilian football. Rayan's call-up is seen as an example of how a period of adaptation and recovery of confidence can be fundamental to guaranteeing opportunities in youth teams. Therefore, Lorran's situation has attracted attention, as he is highlighted as a player with great potential who could repeat the path of his rival.

FLAMENGO HAS POTENTIAL AT BASE

Lorran stood out in the youth categories of Flamengo, showing a style of play that mixes speed< /a>, one-on-one skill and a good nose for goal. These attributes make him a natural candidate to be observed by Ramon Menezes in the next squads, especially if he manages to evolve in terms of consistency. At just 17 years old, Lorran still has room for technical and tactical growth, as well as space to mature mentally. and deal better with career adversities.

Although it has faced a recent fluctuation, with drops in performance and some physical problems, Lorran remains one of Flamengo's bets for the future. The red and black technical committee has been working to recondition the young athlete, with the intention of him regaining the protagonism that put him in the spotlight in the youth categories. The club's structure and the support offered aim to prepare Lorran to meet expectations, including for his name to be considered in future Ramon Menezes lists.

Coach Ramon Menezes has adopted an approach that prioritizes the observation of young players with development potential, even if they are not at their best. It was this logic that justified Rayan's call-up, and the same philosophy could be applied to Lorran, if Flamengo's attacking midfielder recovers his form.The search for talent in the youth categories of Brazilian clubs is a hallmark of management of Ramon, which aims to form a generation capable of meeting the needs of the main team in the coming years.
