São Paulo extended midfielder Luan's contract in May this year. What seemed like a 'turnaround' in his phase at Tricolor, as it had not yet been taken advantage of by former coach Rogério Ceni, did not happen. Even with Dorival Júnior in charge of São Paulo, the number eight does not create opportunities. For example, against Bragantino, when Tricolor went with an alternative team, Luan did not start as a starter and remained on the bench throughout the match. This has been a key concept for the player this season. + See table and next rounds of the Brasileirão In 2023, Luan played just 21 matches, with 719 minutes on the field. Of these matches, Cria de Cotia started only eight times, three times with Dorival Júnior and five times with Rogério Ceni. He has not been on the field since June 21, when São Paulo defeated Athletico 2-1, at Morumbi. Luan was substituted at half-time. PERFORMANCE: Starting defender stands out in São Paulo's draw in the Brasileirão Now, according to Dorival, Luan is competing for a place in São Paulo with Jhegson Méndez, starting against Bragantino. In the team's 'hierarchy', the number eight is, therefore, behind the Ecuadorian and Pablo Maia, owner of the position. “Luan is in the same condition as Méndez, in the same space, the situation was just a moment. Luan works very intensely, seeking the best conditions. He arrived there, did some serious work, returned to his best state and now it's a matter of time for him to maintain his attitude, because I have no doubt that it won't be long before he gets new opportunities”, said Dorival Júnior. after the match against Massa Bruta.
