This Friday (5), Flamengo will debut in the São Paulo Junior Football Cup, against São José, at 5:30 pm. Lorran, considered a jewel of the base, gained prominence in the Spanish press. The newspaper "As" classified the player on the list of the main promises of the competition.
Bringing together 128 teams and many of the main promises of Brazilian football, the Copinha has already had stars such as Vinícius Júnior and Lucas Paquetá, and is the showcase for European clubs . Among all the players present, the "As" highlighted Lorran as one of the six most promising players in the competition.
“He also competed in the 2023 Copinha and completed a positive year in the Brazilian Under-17 Team. He won the South American Championship as an important player, but in the World Cup he lost his prominence as the games went by. A high-level left-hander who arrives from the second line, has good finishing and should achieve greater regularity in his matches. He has already played four matches for Flamengo's main team.”
After an outstanding 2023 in the under-20s and the Brasileirão title, Lorran will have a chance to seek a place among the professionals. In addition to competing in the Copinha, the 17-year-old is expected to be part of the squad that will compete in the Campeonato Carioca. If he performs well, he could be integrated into the professional ranks.
In addition to the Ninho offspring, the newspaper As highlighted five more athletes who will also compete in the Copinha and have great potential in the competition. They are: Iseppe (Atlético MG), Matheus Reis (Fluminense), William Gomes (São Paulo), Estevão (Palmeiras) and Miguelito (Santos).
LORRAN IN THE SIGHTS OF EUROPEAN CLUB< With the opportunities he will gain in the Copinha and the Campeonato Carioca, Lorran will certainly please European teams who are interested in taking the player from Flamengo. According to English portals, the striker is being monitored by Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

Flamengo always keeps an eye on the market in search of strengthening and capturing talent for the youth categories. Thus, after the end of the Copa Rio U-15, Rubro-Negro signed Rafa Tenório, Resende's number 10.
After observing Rafa Tenório's performance in the Copa Rio, Flamengo acted quickly and signed the athlete. According to Coluna do Fla, the midfielder signed a three-year contract with Mengão, that is, until 2027. The 15-year-old athlete has already started activities with the Fla squad this Wednesday (03), at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Rafa was one of the main players in the Copa Rio U15. The midfielder scored ten goals and, with that, became the tournament's second top scorer. It is important to emphasize that the athlete reached this mark even with Resende only playing in the first phase of the championship.
Rafa Tenório is 15 years old and is a resident of Volta Redonda. And it was precisely on the team in the city where he lives that the athlete began to take his first steps in football. With good performances for the team from the south of the state of Rio de Janeiro, the midfielder caught Flamengo's attention.
First of all, this will be Rafa Tenório's second stint in the Rubro-Negro youth categories . After that, the young man transferred to Fluminense and, finally, arrived at Resende, where he was the team's number 10 during the Copa Rio U-15.
