There is no doubt that Marcelo Lomba's moment is most important part of his career as a Flamengo professionalThe red-and-black goalkeeper, a product of the club's youth academy, has taken over as the starting goalkeeper and doesn't want to relinquish it any time soon. In the three games he's played since starting, Lomba has kept clean sheets, and the team from Gávea emerged victorious. Despite this, the goalkeeper is undeterred and remains grounded.
"I've waited so long for this moment and worked so hard for it that I'm not going to be hasty. I intend to wait for a sequence of games. There's a saying that the harder I work, the luckier I get. I try to believe that," said the number 29.
In the classic, Lomba had his second trial of the year. The first was when, due to an injury to Bruno, he ended up being starter in the Copa Libertadores da América debut, against Universidad Católica, at Maracanã.
"I remembered the Libertadores game a lot. Everyone knew I was going to play the day before, and the first ball is always very important. I already saved the first ball from Lucio Flavio's shot. I was able to prevent a goal and help Flamengo. That ball gave me confidence, but it's important to talk about Flamengo's defense, which played a great game yesterday," said the goalkeeper, who just think about staying in the position, with the support of his teammates and the fans.
"My goal is to play the entire championship. I'll show that game by game. Each game is a championship final, and I think I already have everyone's trust. I'm grateful to Leo Moura, Angelim, and Pet, who helped me a lot. Seeing the fans chanting my name is a kind of dream come true. We're still in the early stages, but I think everyone needs this. Lots of strength and joy," he concluded.
