Pedro suffered one of the most serious injuries in football and will be out of the remainder of the 2024 season, precisely at his best. Flamengo and Brazil's top scorer of the year was injured while called up by the Brazilian team, in a sad episode analyzed by former player and commentator Casagrande.
In his column on UOL, Casagrande compared Pedro's situation with a personal experience during his career, when, playing for Porto, he was left out of the Champions League final due to a serious injury. Although Pedro will not be absent from a Libertadores final, his absence comes at the most decisive moment of Flamengo's season so far.
“Pedro knows how to do everything a center forward needs. He heads very well, has excellent ball control, finishes well with both feet, and has perfect ball control. Anyway, he would be the guy of the moment with the 9 in hopscotch. He was not called up for the Copa América, which, in my opinion, was a big mistake by Dorival Jr, but he has now been called up for the games against Ecuador, on Friday (6), in Curitiba, and against Paraguay, on Tuesday (10) , in Assunção”, added the former player
Casagrande praised Pedro's performance and lamented the fatality, highlighting that Flamengo's number 9 had everything to be the starter in the Brazilian team's next games. The commentator also criticized Dorival Júnior's decision not to call up Pedro for the Copa América, which, in his view, was a mistake.
No blame for Pedro's injury, says Casagrande
After confirming the seriousness of the injury, part of the fans and the media began to look for those responsible for what happened. However, Casagrande maintains that there is no one to blame for Pedro's injury, although he recognizes that “suspects” always arise in cases like this.
“I shouldn't have come back now, because it comes from a thigh injury and perhaps she wasn't strong enough to hold her knee. Speculation. The calendar, FIFA Data, Flamengo, all are suspected of having accelerated Pedro's return”, stated Casagrande.
According to predictions, Pedro will need to undergo surgery and is expected to return from here. to 9 to 12 months, which means he should only return to play during the next season.

Last 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.

Flamengo's performances have divided the opinions of fans and journalists. After Rubro-Negro's 1-1 draw with Vasco, last Sunday (15), former player and commentator Walter Casagrande spared no criticism of the team led by Tite.
— Everything we said of doubt about whether Flamengo will win or not is Flamengo's own responsibility, not because the others are better – only Botafogo, which is the best in the Brazilian Championship and perhaps in South America. But in relation to the other teams, the doubt about Flamengo is because of himself -, he began.
— Not because of the casting, because of the cast. You look and think: ‘This team isn’t going far’. He looks again and sees nothing. Every day you see Flamengo play, it's worse than before. I rule out Flamengo (in the Brazilian Championship) a little. (…) There's no point in playing well and getting a draw at the end -, he concluded, in participation in the program 'Fim de Papo', on UOL.
It is worth noting that Flamengo won just one of the last six games in the Brasileirão. In this period, there were three defeats, two draws and only one positive result. In other words, five points won out of a possible 18. With a draw with Vasco in the 26th round, Rubro-Negro saw Botafogo and Palmeiras beat Corinthians and Criciúma, respectively. In this way, the first two placed in the Brazilian Championship 'stretched' ahead.
Flamengo, however, still has one game less in relation to the first three placed in the national tournament table (Botafogo, Palmeiras and Fortaleza). In short, Tite's men are in the G-4 of the Brasileirão and still have a mathematical chance of winning the title.
In addition, Rubro-Negro is classified in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Corinthians. Finally, the Libertadores quarterfinals are ahead. This Thursday (19), in fact, the red and black team receives Peñarol (URU), in a duel for the continental competition. The ball rolls at 7pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã
