On July 29 of this year, Flamengo's former physical trainer, Pablo Fernández, attacked Pedro after the attacker refused to continue with the warm-up during the duel between Flamengo and Atlético-MG. This Tuesday (12), Júnior Baiano, former Mengão defender, remembers the moment and is outraged by what happened. Furthermore, the former player highlighted that he would have a different reaction if he were the victim of the attack.
"Firstly, lack of respect for the physical preparation. I know Pedro, he is a very good friend of My son, I don't know much, but I know him. He has a good nature, very respectful, has a mouth and doesn't talk, very good people. I think he took advantage of the fact that Pedro is a calm guy and did that. But now, if it's me, I I'll break him on the stick", declares Júnior Baiano, during the 'Mundo GV' podcast.
Furthermore, Baino highlighted that the majority of Pedro's teammates did nothing for the player: "If I'm close, if it were in the In my time, he was screwed. If it's in my time, even if it was a guy I didn't like, I would buy the noise. I was a little sad, because no one bought anyone's noise. It seems that only Gerson did something" , he pointed out, in the podcast of Getúlio Vargas, former Flamengo goalkeeper.
Júnior Baiano was revealed by Rubro-Negro in 1989, and in 1990 he brought a title to Mengão: the Copa São Paulo de Juniores. Still in 1990, the former player took home the Copa do Brasil with the professional squad. In his career there were 288 games for Mais Querido, with 32 goals, being the defender with the most goals in the history of Rubro-Negro, along with Juan. Throughout these games, the former defender won titles such as the 1991 and 2004 Carioca Championships, the 1997 World Champions Cup and the 1992 Brazilian Championship.
To this day, Baiano continues to closely monitor his commitments from Mengão. With the former player's fans, Flamengo and Athletico-PR face each other next Wednesday (13) in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The dispute takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Kleber Andrade Stadium. Currently, Mais Querido occupies fourth place in the Brazilian Championship. The club's objective is to overcome the 12-point difference between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo, the current leader of the competition.
The decision was made after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who exposed the striker's actions in a press conference this Saturday (12), after the victory over São Paulo

After Flamengo's victory over São Paulo this Saturday (12), coach Filipe Luís spoke out about Pedro's actions in the club's daily life. The Mais Querido coach highlighted that the number 9 had unacceptable behavior. Therefore, the athlete's representatives will seek proposals for the player to leave Rubro-Negro.
" We're going to make an offer to Flamengo and try to find a way out ," a representative for Pedro told journalist Venê Casagrande. The response came after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who explained the reason for the player's departure.
Pedro was not included by Filipe Luís for the match against São Paulo this Saturday (12). Thus, the coach explained, in a press conference, that the player had unacceptable behavior. In addition, the coach stated that the number 9 should apologize and that he has been training below expectations.
"Pedro's behavior and attitude during the week was deplorable, bordering on ridiculous. Pedro has his personal issues with the club's board, but he's been training poorly for a while now. This week, however, he broke a clear principle we have as a coaching staff and players: training culture ," the coach emphasized before adding:
"For me, what he did was disrespectful, his behavior in training. I didn't hesitate for a moment to leave him out of this game, as this behavior can be contagious. I hope he recovers, apologizes to his teammates and goes back to being Pedro. It's not just a lack of respect for his teammates, it's also for himself, " said Filipe Luís .
Pedro returned from a serious injury a few months ago. Since then, the center forward has appeared in 17 matches for Flamengo. He has scored five goals and provided three assists for his teammates.
The Mais Querido full-back is being targeted by Roma and other European giants, but has not yet received any official offer.

Roma is watching Wesley, who is still being watched by other clubs and may be leaving Flamengo. The number 43 confirmed during halftime of the match against São Paulo that there is a chance he will leave the club soon.
Wesley talks about a possible departure from Flamengo: "This is a matter for Flamengo's board and my agents ."
Wesley's contract with Flamengo runs until December 2028. Flamengo is demanding €30 million (R$195 million) to sell the young full-back. The player has also made clear his desire to play for a European club.
Therefore, Wesley is one of Roma's (ITA) priorities. This is because the Italian team hired coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was at Atalanta (ITA). The coach had even considered signing the full-back while he was still at the previous team, but negotiations failed.
Thus, while Wesley does not receive an official offer, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
The Mais Querido pointed out the problems that the full-backs had; it is worth remembering that the Rubro-Negro's number 6 suffered a strong tackle from Enzo Diaz

This Saturday (12), Flamengo beat São Paulo by 2-0, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. However, throughout the match, Mais Querido suffered two important losses: Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas. Thus, Rubro-Negro updated the situation of the athletes.
It is worth remembering that after a clash with Enzo Diaz, a deep cut was found on Ayrton Lucas ' leg. After the game, Flamengo issued a statement revealing "bone exposure" in the player's wound. In addition, the club took the opportunity to talk about the situation of Alex Sandro, who will undergo tests this Sunday (13).
Left-back Ayrton Lucas suffered direct trauma to his left leg during the second half of the 2-0 victory over São Paulo, resulting in a blunt force trauma of approximately 8 cm. The player received local anesthesia in the locker room, where Flamengo doctor, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, cleaned and initially examined the wound. After confirming the bone exposure, a dressing was applied and the player was then sent for an x-ray, which ruled out a fracture in the region. Ayrton was taken to Barra D'Or Hospital, where he will undergo surgery. The player will remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours for antibiotics and infection prevention .
"The player felt pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh in the first half of Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo. He will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday (13) ," Flamengo said in a statement issued to the press.
Thus, with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas being doubtful, it is likely that Filipe Luís will once again field Varela at left-back for Flamengo . Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
