If getting a chance to start is already difficult when the team is in good form, for a goalkeeper the situation becomes even more complicated. Tomorrow, in the derby against Vasco, Marcelo Lomba will have his chance to start. Since the starters will be rested, Bruno will be on the bench, and it will be up to the 21-year-old, who has only two professional appearances under his belt, to start against rivals Vasco. "It's difficult for a goalkeeper to get a chance to play, especially when the starter has Bruno's quality. This is a great opportunity for me, and I know I need to perform well. The derby is at the heart of the group's leadership, we need to win, and it's with that spirit that we'll go onto the field," said Marcelo Lomba, unafraid of a lack of rhythm. "I'm trying to make up for the lack of rhythm in training." Since I've been playing with Thiago Sales and Rodrigo Arroz for a long time, I don't think I'll feel the inactivity too much.\ To maintain his commitment in training, Lomba seeks motivation in the words of starter Bruno.\ "He always guides me in training and also gives me advice for life off the field. Bruno is experienced, one of the best goalkeepers in Brazil and a great friend who wants the best for everyone," he praised.\
