Midfielder Jean Lucas is in great form for Bahia and, in recognition, was called up to the Brazilian National Team . In a press conference this Tuesday (2), the midfielder highlighted the importance of Rogério Ceni , his current coach, in his development on and off the field.
Jean Lucas on Rogério Ceni, former Flamengo player: "he gave me a lot of potential"
"Rogério Ceni gave me a lot of potential, and I'm just grateful to him. He transformed me as a person and as a player. He helped me a lot when I arrived; he called me and told me he'd be by my side and that we'd do great things at Bahia," said Jean Lucas.
Rogério Ceni took over Bahia in 2023, while Jean Lucas arrived the following year . Since then, the duo has built a solid working relationship. Today, the defensive midfielder is a key player on the team, forming a midfield partnership with Flamengo legend Everton Ribeiro.
Despite their connection to the Red-Blacks , Ceni and Jean Lucas' paths never crossed at Gávea . Ceni managed the team between 2020 and 2021, while the midfielder came through the youth ranks but left the club in 2019 before making his way up to the senior squad.
With Jean Lucas on board, Carlo Ancelotti leads Brazil's preparations for the final two games of the South American Qualifiers.

Qatar's Al Rayyan attempted to sign striker Pedro in recent days , offering $20 million (approximately R$110 million). The proposal was delivered directly to the player's representatives, but Flamengo immediately rejected any possibility of negotiation.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the red-black board made it clear that it does not intend to sell Pedro in 2025, to the point of not even opening talks with the Qatari club , a position that changed after a strong member of the board declared to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira that he would like to negotiate the center forward .
The number 9 is enjoying a good run of form with the team, but he's recently faced turbulence. Pedro was even involved in a controversy with Filipe Luís , which even resulted in him being temporarily removed from training. However, the friction was resolved, and the striker has regained his place in the squad.
In recent games, Pedro has regained his prominence. He was decisive in the 8-0 rout of Vitória , scoring three goals, including a stunning effort by bouncing a ball over the defender, and in the draw against Grêmio, when he provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal at the Maracanã.
With Pedro confirmed, Flamengo returns to the field on September 14th , for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, against Juventude. The duel takes place at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
