Undoubtedly, Alianza Lima has achieved various positive results at the international level. Although their recent participation in South American competitions has not been the best, the club undoubtedly shone during the 2011 Copa Libertadores Sub-20.

In that championship, Alianza Lima crushed Flamengo 5-1 at Matute. What many do not remember is that in that Brazilian squad there was a young promise who was viewed as a future 'crack'.
This is Lorran, who was compared to Rivaldo by his teammate Léo Moura, the former 'Scratch' star and world champion. In March of this year, the player assured ESPN that several European clubs wanted to buy him after seeing his performance in 'Mengao'.
"Monaco, Bayern Munich, Porto, and Standard Liege tried to sign me, but Flamengo wouldn't let me go. Bayern offered a six-month contract and would buy me if I did well. Monaco wanted to buy me, but I renewed with Flamengo because I had the dream of becoming an idol. The directors didn't release (the players) easily and always asked for more money," he said.
Furthermore, during his time with the 'carioca' team, the player also shared the team with Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Unfortunately, despite having the conditions to succeed, he was distracted by the nights in Rio de Janeiro and the luxuries that high-level players get.
It is worth mentioning that in that match with Alianza Lima, Lorran came on at the 44th minute in place of Pedrinho. However, he couldn't do much to change the outcome of the game.
What is Lorran's life like today?
Unfortunately, the striker never took off. After playing for teams like Madureira, Anápolis, Pacos Ferreira in Portugal, and Al-Tadamon in the United Arab Emirates, Lorran became a free agent. Therefore, he has not played professional football since 2018.
