Flamengo lost the match against Fortaleza this Thursday (11), 2-1, at Maracanã, in a game valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the setback, Pedro, scorer of Flamengo's only goal, came even closer to reaching the record for goals in a single season and drove the fans crazy. Pedro's goal was not enough to guarantee the victory, but it highlighted his excellent phase.
“Pedro is going through an incredible phase. Game after game, the striker has been scoring goals for Flamengo. The number 9 is the protagonist of this good phase of Rubro-Negro in the 2024 season”, said a Flamengo fan. Afterwards, another fan highlighted the number of goals scored by the center forward at the stadium: “Top scorers at the new Maracanã: Pedro with 91 and Gabigol with 78”. The comparison between Pedro and Gabigol shows the importance of both for the club.
Finally, Flamengo fans continued to praise Pedro: “Goal from the top scorer. ‘Spill it, sir three times’ goal. Pedro, El Matador,” said one of them. “Do you want a big 9? PEDRO!!”, concluded another red-black, referring to a recent jargon. The expressions of support and admiration reflect the striker's popularity among the fans.
In 2023, Pedro scored 35 goals in 61 games for Flamengo, reaching the highest mark in a single season. With the goal scored against Fortaleza, the red-and-black center forward now has 26 goals in the 2024 season, being just nine balls into the net from equaling the statistic. The quest for a personal best adds an element of interest as the season continues.
The defeat to Fortaleza was a setback for Flamengo, but Pedro's performance keeps fans optimistic. With his impressive performance continuing, Pedro has a great chance of beating his own record and continuing to be a key player for Flamengo in the remainder of the Brazilian Championship. The expectation now is for the next games and the possibility of new individual and collective achievements.

Several Uruguayan newspapers covered the tie between Flamengo and Vasco this Sunday (15). Among the main vehicles, “El País” and “Montevidéu Portal” highlighted that Luiz Araújo left the classic with a possible knee injury and could be absent for Rubro-Negro in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals against Peñarol, next Thursday (19).
Luiz Araújo played just 18 minutes in the classic. The attacker felt his knee after a challenge with a Vasco defender and even tried to continue on the field, but ended up being replaced by Arrascaeta. At half-time, Flamengo issued a statement informing that the player will be re-evaluated by the medical department at Ninho do Urubu. The squad will be presented again this Monday afternoon (16).
Uruguayan newspapers consider the possible absence of Luiz Araújo a big problem for Mengão. The athlete is a starter in Tite's team, with the most matches for Flamengo this season (50) and leader in assists (10).
The newspaper 'El País' classified the player as a key player for the team: “The injury to Luiz Araújo, one of the most important players in Mengão's squad, expands the list of injured players just a few days before the clash against Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores.”
The 'Montevideo Portal' followed the same line, highlighting the importance of the striker: “In addition to the result, another bad news for Peñarol's next rival in the Copa Libertadores it was the departure of Luiz Araújo. The fast right-winger, starter for Flamengo, felt pain in his right knee after a blow.”
Currently, Flamengo's medical department has five injured players: De La Cruz, Michael, Cebolinha, Viña and Pedro, with the trio formed by Cebolinha, Viña and Pedro only expected to return in 2025.
Expectations for De La Cruz in the game against PeñarolWhile awaiting Luiz Araújo's diagnosis, coach Tite revealed, after the draw against Vasco, that he hopes to count on De La Cruz for the duel against Peñarol . According to the coach, the Uruguayan's presence could improve the effectiveness of the team, which has shown good performance in recent matches.
“In training, when he (De la Cruz) was leaving, I asked 'is there enough for 20? minutes?'. He smiled, because he couldn't. The physical department definitely said they were not in a position to do so. Not even him feeling well. Especially because you have to talk to the athlete, because then there is the charge. Hopefully, and I hope that he can be there on Thursday to reproduce today's performance, with greater effectiveness”, said Tite in the post-game press conference between Flamengo x Vasco.
