The young striker Lorran, just 18 years old, is going through a moment of transition in his career at Flamengo. After losing space in the professional team under the command of Tite, Lorran returned to playing for the youth team. Last Wednesday, he was decisive in scoring the first goal in the 2-1 victory over Botafogo, in a game valid for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, held in Gávea.

Lorran emerged as one of the great promises from Flamengoduring the period of the Copa América, when he replaced star Arrascaeta. During this period, he met the fans' expectations and was embraced by the red and black public. However, as is common in the trajectory of young athletes, Lorran began to fluctuate in his performance. In the final stretch of his participation in the main team, he became the target of criticism and boos at Maracanã, which led the technical committee to keep him. In Flamengo's last two games, he wasn't even mentioned.

FLAMENGO PREPARES JEWEL FOR THE CLUB'S BASE


Within the club, this oscillation is seen as a natural part of the development of a young player who is in the process of transitioning from basic to professional. To minimize the negative impacts of this phase, Flamengo developed a special project focused on shielding Lorran and enhancing its development. The club is aware of the environment around the player, especially after the episode of booing in the game against Cruzeiro, when Lorran expressed his frustration on social media with the phrase: "I want them to doubt".
