Club seeks internal solutions for attack
|
After suffering a serious injury to his left knee, Flamengo striker Pedro is out of the 2024 season and only should return to the pitch in 2025. With the absence of number 9, Flamengo's board decided not to make major investments in the transfer market and opted to look for solutions within the squad itself. The main name chosen to replace Pedro is Gabigol, the club's idol, despite being in a less prestigious phase.
Even though he is experiencing a moment of lesser protagonism, Gabigol is seen as the main option to take the place of Pedro. Pedro. With decisive goals in the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Libertadores finals, Gabigol is still a reference for the red and black attack. The curious thing is that all the goals scored by Flamengo in the last three finals of the continental tournament went to number 99, consolidating his historical importance at the club.
Despite this, the striker lost space in the current season under coach Tite's command. So far, Gabigol has started just three matches, scoring four goals and one assist. However, he appeared in 21 games, which indicates his constant presence in the coach's options.
In addition to Gabigol, Flamengo has Bruno Henrique, who has already played as a center forward, and Carlinhos, a young promise from the base, as alternatives to make up for Pedro's absence. The club's bet is not to do "financial madness", focusing on making the most of the players who are already part of the squad.
Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the field on September 12th to face Bahia, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Rubro-Negro has the advantage of the first clash, having won 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova. Now, the team only needs a draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semi-finals.
