Former player detonates football presented by Flamengo and warns: "In the Libertadores it doesn't go beyond the semi-final"

With a cruciate ligament injury in his knee confirmed, Pedro will have to undergo surgery and will be sidelined for at least nine months. Since returning to Rio de Janeiro last week, after being injured during the national team's training in Curitiba, the player already had a date set to undergo the surgical procedure.

According to journalist Luiza Sá, Pedro should have the surgery between Friday and Saturday, with Flamengo just waiting for confirmation of the date, to officially announce it. Also according to Luiza, the procedure will be in the same hospital where Viña and Cebolinha had the operation, both will no longer play in 2024.

In addition to the serious injury suffered this year, in 2018, when Pedro was still playing for Fluminense, he was diagnosed with a strain in his ligaments in his right knee, and when the injury was confirmed there, he had to undergo surgery. Coincidentally, just like in 2024, he was cut from Brazil's squad list.

Pedro underwent physiotherapy and returned to working with the ball, at Fluminense's CT, in March 2019, almost nine months after his surgery .

The second surgery was due to a meniscus injury. And P9 had to undergo arthroscopic surgery, which left him sidelined for 3 months. In the meantime, the center forward was left out of the Libertadores final against Palmeiras, in Montevideo.

Before facing Vasco, Flamengo will face Bahia, this Thursday- fair (12), at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the return of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. With a 1-0 lead achieved in the first game, Mais Querido only needs a draw to guarantee their place in the semi-finals.

Flamengo signed a great player for this season, Nicolás De La Cruz. The arrival of the Uruguayan midfielder became a topic of debate on the Arena SBT program. For the former São Paulo player, Cicinho, the midfielder is not a great reinforcement for Mais Querido. The opinion ended up generating mockery from commentator Mano, who said that the former full-back prefers Wellington Rato, currently at São Paulo.

Cicinho: “Flamengo actually has two teams. In my opinion, Flamengo is a super favorite this season because they have a bench close to the starter. It's a team where you can rest one or another player. But particularly, I don't see all that in De La Cruz.”

Mano: “Well, it's Wellington Rato (laughs).”

Cicinho: “No, it's not a question of Wellington Rato. But in my opinion, I don't think all this fuss is for De La Cruz.”

After Cicinho's speech, Mao spoke again and highlighted how he thinks coach Tite will choose De La Cruz and Arrascaeta in the Rubro Negro: “Flamengo today, on paper, on the continent, is the best team in South America. Fact. Everton Ribeiro would be useful until page 2, but in Tite's lineup, he would fight with Arrascaeta in the 'meiuca'. In other words, he would play in the middle. With the arrival of De La Cruz, who I don't know if he will be a starter or will start on the bench, but I believe that Tite should play alongside Arrascaeta, he's great, there's no way around it”, concluded Mano.

Last Monday (8), the Rubro Negro cast reappeared at CT Ninho do Urubu to start the pre-season. At the beginning of the year, only De La Cruz was announced as a reinforcement. There is an expectation that the Mais Querido board will announce new players by the end of the transfer window.
