Can Lorran return to Flamengo?
Pisa coach Alberto Gilardino praised the Brazilian’s qualities, but also demanded a change in the player’s attitude on a daily basis. Despite this public demand, Lorran must remain at Pisa until the end of the loan, which ends at the end of this season.
– I work with him every day in training. These are athletes who have something special in terms of technique, intensity and instinct, but we need to get rid of some laziness, which is the main point. He recently arrived in Italy. If you can get rid of that, you can achieve great things – said Gilardino, former Milan player and current Pisa commander.
Flamengo received 500 thousand euros for the loan (R$ 3.1 million)and Pisa is forced to buy Lorran case the young man participates in half of the Italian club’s games in season and don’t fall into the second division. The team is in 20th and last place, with 12 points in 19 games.
“The boy has only been in Italy for a short time; if he can get rid of his laziness, he will do great things”

Lorran at Pisa
Lorran debuted for the club in September and, in his first match, made his mark in the 3-2 defeat to Napoli. After this start, however, he spent a long period without being used: between September 26th and November 30th, he was only on the bench, without taking the field.
In recent weeks, the midfielder has been used more regularly again, participating in six of Pisa’s seven most recent games. Still, the Brazilian was unable to celebrate a victory with the club’s shirt: so far, there have been six defeats and two draws while he has been on the field.
For Flamengo, he played 36 professional games, with two goals and three assists.
