The attacking midfielder Lazarus was presented this Friday (9) as a new reinforcement of the Palm trees. The athlete arrives at Verdão on loan after negotiating with Almeria, from Spain. After a lackluster period in Spanish football, the formerFlamengo highlighted the happiness he felt after learning about the deal with Alviverde.
“When I found out it was after a game I had there (in Spain), I was quite happy, it had been a while since I had a sparkle in my eyes. It was a moment of great happiness, even more so when I saw that everything was ok. He was all silly in the house. An important step for me, I want to do everything I can to help everyone”, said the attacker.

Lázaro said that he has not yet spoken to coach Abel Ferreira, but he has publicly explained in which position he prefers to play. “I like it better on the left wing, because when you cut to the middle you have the option to shoot, you have more clarity to create.”
“But playing on the left, right, attacking midfielder or center forward, I can adapt very well. The quality, notion and intelligence I have, now it’s about understanding what Abel has to go through and on the field doing my best, helping with whatever is needed”.
Recently arrived in Brazil, the 21-year-old boy dreams of shining soon with the Palmeiras shirt and securing a place in Ramón Menezes’ Olympic team.
“One of my goals this season is to go to the national team, the Olympics, I have this dream with me, nothing better than returning to Brazil to a big club like Palmeiras, which gives full support, always treats everyone the same, it was something that I realized here, everyone will treat you well regardless of who you are. This creates a very good thing.”
