The striker is on loan at the Club, and is aiming for good performances to regain rhythm and confidence




After facing one of the most difficult phases of his career, striker Lucas Moreira is experiencing a special moment. The player, who belongs to Brasiliense and is on loan to Samambaia for the Copa Brasília, returned to action after two years away from the pitch due to two consecutive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Determined and focused, the athlete sees this new stage as a true return and tries to rediscover the rhythm that had previously characterized him.

During the long recovery period, Lucas had to deal not only with physical limitations, but also with the mental challenge that accompanies any athlete who suffers serious injuries. The forward reports that it took months of intense rehabilitation, patience and constant work to return to ideal condition.



– They have been two very difficult years, undoubtedly the most challenging of my career. I needed to reinvent myself, strengthen my body and above all my mind to be able to go back to doing what I love most, which is playing football – reveals the player.

Now, playing for Samambaia, Lucas’ main goal is to regain his confidence on the pitch and help the club achieve its goals in the Copa Brasilia, a competition that promises to be an important showcase for its recovery. The attacker underlines that the positive environment and support of the team have been fundamental in this new phase.

– The group welcomed me very well and I am happy to be able to give my contribution. I know I still need rhythm, but I’m confident that, with work and dedication, I will find my best football again – he says.

Known for his agility, fast dribbling and good ball handling, Lucas Moreira has always been a player with intense movements and the ability to decide matches. Now the focus is on transforming these qualities into goals, assists and good performances that can consolidate the return to the competitive scene.

– My goal is to become decisive again, to be able to help Samambaia with goals and direct participation and to demonstrate that I can play at a high level. I want this return to be the beginning of a new phase in my career – adds the attacker.

Samambaia, for its part, is betting on Lucas’ experience and determination to strengthen the team in the Copa Brasilia dispute. The team has high expectations of reaching the final and is counting on the player’s return as a strong reinforcement. In addition to the collective challenge, the moment is also an opportunity for the athlete to gain momentum and find the rhythm of the game.

The return to the field, for Lucas, symbolizes more than just a new season, it represents overcoming and resilience. After two surgeries and the entire rehabilitation process, the striker says he sees football with a new perspective.

– Today I appreciate every training session, every minute on the field. After everything I’ve been through, just being able to play again is a huge victory. But I want more, I want to show that I can still evolve and reach an even higher level than before the injury – he says.
