0Forward Pedro, current top scorer of the season for Flamengo, is back in the Brazilian team. In a press conference held last Tuesday (03), the player discussed several topics, including his experiences with coaches Tite and Dorival Júnior.
Pedro described what it's like to work under the leadership of both coaches, highlighting the particularities of each one. "They are two great coaches with whom I have the pleasure of working. Each one has their own characteristics, their way of commanding. Both can lead the group and align the players with the same idea," said the striker.
Pedro's career received a significant boost under Dorival Júnior, especially during his time at Flamengo. In 2022, the striker was a key player in winning the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. Furthermore, his good performance at the club guaranteed Pedro's call-up for the World Cup in the same year, when Tite was still ahead of the Brazilian team.
Currently, with Tite at the head of Flamengo and Dorival commanding the Brazilian team, Pedro maintains his confidence in the work of both. The striker has been highlighted on the national scene, leading Brazil's artillery in the 2024 season, with 30 goals so far.
Dorival's arrival at Flamengo, in June 2022, was a milestone for Pedro's career. The coach, who started to use the striker together with Gabigol, achieved impressive results: in 43 games, Flamengo won 26 victories, in addition to the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores titles, beating Corinthians and Athletico-PR in the respective finals. p>
In the 2022 season, Pedro shone with impressive numbers. There were 59 matches played, with 29 goals scored and seven assists, consolidating one of the most productive years of his career.

0Last Tuesday, the candidate for re-election for mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, denied the journalist Ancelmo Gois, from Globo. In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.

0The Brazilian team takes the field this Tuesday (10), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Paraguay, at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, in a game valid for the 8th round of the Qualifiers. For the duel, coach Dorival Júnior will promote the entry of Endrick in place of Luiz Henrique. As a result, Rodrygo, who started the match against Ecuador centrally, will be moved to the right side.
In a press conference this Monday, the national team coach commented on the changes in the offensive sector and recalled that Pedro would be a perfect piece for the Brazilian attack.
“A reference man with mobility for me is ideal. Pedro has that and a lot of it. We've been thinking about Pedro's name since the first call-up and he knows it. He is a player who is perfect for the moment. I was very sorry for the injury he had. We lost a very important option, but the main thing is Pedro's feeling of being human. After that, it would be very important for the moment we are living in and would complete what we are designing”, said Dorival, before going deeper into Rodrygo.
“From Rodrygo, the last thing I want is for him to be reference, because it does not have this characteristic. The mobility he has at Real, the intelligence, the infiltration, is everything I want him to do in the Seleção and be able to execute movements without the need to fulfill a type of role. So he can use the best he has, as he had been playing with Vini and Bellingham up front, helping to rebuild his team. They have freedom in the middle forward, that's what we proposed when we placed the two closer. With Endrick, he opens up a little more to be positional with freedom of movement.”
Danilo cites Pedro as an example in his speechTeam captain, the right-back Danilo spoke to his teammates in the dressing room before the victory over Ecuador. The Juventus player recalled Pedro's injury and the time the striker will be absent.
“We just need each one of us to believe in what we have to do. Need some extra motivation? Pedro was here the day before yesterday, he was going to be a starter, (he's going to be) out for seven or eight months. What's our problem? From today onwards, every game is an objective, respecting those who made history with this shirt, respecting those who work from sunrise to sunset and, even so, at 10 pm they will watch the national team play", encouraged the captain.
