Bruno Henrique’s view on Lorran staying at Flamengo | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique praised Lorran and other youngsters from the academy

Flamengo beat Olimpia (PAR) 4-2 this Friday (17). One of the standout performers in the friendly was Lorran, who scored at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília. In addition, the academy product assisted Bruno Henrique, who also found the net. The club idol spoke about the chances of the youngster staying in the squad.

— They (the academy youngsters) are important for us. The boys understand things well and do the job when they step onto the pitch. That’s why Flamengo produces so many players for the world. Lorran did really well, scored a goal, and got an assist. He’s back from loan, and maybe he’ll stay with us. He can help us a lot —, Bruno Henrique said in an interview with ‘FlamengoTV’.

Last season, Lorran wore the shirt of Pisa, in Italy. But he was unable to stand out and scored only one goal, returning to Flamengo midway through this year. However, the youngster has been shining during the midseason training period. In Portugal, he found the net against Lausanne (SUI). And this Friday (17), he was on target again against Olimpia.

WILL THE YOUNGSTERS LOSE SPACE WITH THE RETURN OF THE CALLED-UP PLAYERS?

Of the nine players called up for the World Cup, only Guillermo Varela was available for Flamengo against Olimpia. Therefore, with the return of the other players who were at the World Cup, the tendency is for the youngsters to lose space. However, Bruno Henrique made a point of praising all his teammates.

— The players coming back from the World Cup strengthen us even more with their quality and their positioning on and off the pitch. They are important to the group. The guys who were in Algarve and those who played today (Friday) also showed they have the quality to stay with Flamengo’s group and help us during the season. Hopefully we can keep building on the work that’s being done, because it’s very good —, said the number 27.

GREAT GOAL AGAINST OLIMPIA

PACKED STADIUM AGAIN

Whenever we come to play here, we always get positive results. So, this friendly here, against a great team that showed quality, but we managed to build the win. Now it’s about continuing our season, which is starting again.”
