Many years have passed since Marcelo Lomba first wore the Flamengo jersey as a player for the club. After moving up to the professional ranks, the goalkeeper faced the biggest responsibility of his career in 2010: taking over as the starting goalkeeper. He stepped onto the field, showed his worth, and now hopes to grow. But the young athlete's humility is set aside for a quick piece of advice for the new coach: to succeed at Flamengo, you need to love the club.
A Flamengo fan since childhood, Marcelo Lomba knows that Luxemburgo has always declared himself a Flamengo supporter. This fact could propel the coach to a position very familiar to him: that of champion.
"Vanderlei is a highly skilled coach. The player has to be 100% in sync with him, 100% focused. His experience is very important. He's very successful and it's great to work with him. He has the Flamengo spirit and loves the club very much. His Flamengo heart and blood will help him a lot in this endeavor. The club is rebuilding and will reach where it always deserves to be," said Marcelo Lomba, mentioning that the atmosphere is already different among the players.
"Flamengo is experiencing a new phase. Vanderlei came to show that. Flamengo has the team and squad to achieve greater things. In decisive games, everyone has to participate. If you put it in your head, you can achieve your goal," declared the goalkeeper, who is not afraid of the absences for the match against Inter next Saturday.
"Whoever comes in will have to be prepared. The Brasileirão is a long championship and everyone has already played, especially in the defensive sector. You really have to be prepared. The opportunity comes for everyone," he concluded.
