Flamengo is expected to have Marcelo Lomba as its starting goalkeeper in the upcoming Brasileirão rounds. And despite his youth, the Flamengo goalkeeper, a product of the club's youth academy, has the support and confidence of everyone on the squad. This year, he has played in two matches and kept a clean sheet. These are statistics that speak in the goalkeeper's favor.

\

"We have complete confidence in Lomba. He's been working hard for a long time, has already shown his quality, and we know he can defend the Flamengo jersey. Of course, I was hoping for a better time to come on, but now that it's here, he'll definitely defend our goal well. We all have confidence in him," said Leonardo Moura, who only expressed regret at the fact that Bruno was sidelined due to personal issues.

\

"Professionally speaking, we lost an excellent goalkeeper, who unfortunately will no longer be here. The group is very sad about this. There's not much to say. He's a work colleague we're going to lose," he said.

Five-time world champion with the Brazilian national team in 2002, Kleberson, believes the goalkeeper will seize the opportunity.

"Lomba is an excellent goalkeeper and has demonstrated his potential. I'm sure he will seize this opportunity," he noted.
