Professional career

Lucas Ventura was recruited by Cruzeiro Youth Team in 2014, while playing a tournament in his native city. In 2017, Cruzeiro's coach Mano Menezes promoted him to the senior squad. On April 9, 2017, Nonoca made his professional debut in the match against Democrata-GV at Campeonato Mineiro.

When Lucas Ventura was promoted to Cruzeiro's First Team, he was convinced by his staff and family to use the name Lucas Ventura, but decided to change back to his nickname in June 2017, defending he was always known as Nonoca by Cruzeiro's colleagues and staff, since he was a kid growing up on the junior team. Nonoca participated well in several games in 2017, getting regular call-ups and being regularly used as a sub for Cruzeiro's defensive midfielders. [1] [2]
