On Wednesday night (23), Flamengo faced a complicated mission when facing Red Bull Bragantino away from home , in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The São Paulo team took the lead, but Rubro-Negro reacted and won 2-1 , adding three important points in the fight for leadership.
In addition to the positive result, Pedro's gesture toward coach Filipe Luís drew attention. Substituted in the 43rd minute of the second half, the number 9 greeted and hugged the coach as he left the field —a gesture that resonated on social media , especially after the recent tension between the two.
After the Club World Cup, Pedro was left out of the squad for games against São Paulo and Santos. At the time, coach Filipe Luís was blunt in explaining the reason: the striker wasn't demonstrating "dedication and seriousness in training," and would therefore remain sidelined until he demonstrated a change in his attitude.
Pedro returned to the squad in the following round, in the derby against Fluminense, and was decisive. Coming on in the second half, the striker scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory, demonstrating his ability to respond effectively. In the match against Bragantino, he was once again a starter. Although he didn't find the net, he participated in key plays, especially in the second half , and pleased much of the red-and-black fans with his dedication.
Without any physical or disciplinary impediment, Pedro is available for Flamengo 's next match . The team faces Atlético-MG on Sunday (27), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão.
In the table, Flamengo sits in second place with 33 points, one point behind current leader Cruzeiro . If they win in Belo Horizonte, Flamengo could take the lead in the competition, depending on the result of their Minas Gerais rival.

Flamengo made four signings in the last transfer window for Filipe Luís' squad: Saúl Ñíguez, Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Jorge Carrascal . After the transfer window closed, journalist André Rizek of Grupo Globo assessed the signings and noted that some players still need to adapt to meet the Rio de Janeiro club's expectations.
" I think the technical aspects of Jorginho, Saúl, and Samu Lino are impressive. I think Emerson Royal and Carrascal are a step below, and they're options to rotate the squad ," Rizek commented in a video posted on social media. According to him, while some new signings are already showing satisfactory performance, others are still adapting to the Mais Querido's style and rhythm.
With Wesley's departure to Roma (ITA), Mengão went to the transfer market and signed Emerson Royal, formerly of Milan, for nine million euros (approximately R$57 million). Jorge Carrascal was acquired from Dynamo Moscow (RUS) for 12 million euros (approximately R$76 million). In total, the Rio de Janeiro club invested R$133 million in these two signings alone.
So far, Emerson Royal has played in five matches for Flamengo, without scoring or providing assists. Jorge Carrascal continues to adapt to the club 's routine and has yet to start, having appeared in three games so far.
Flamengo's next match will be on September 14th, against Juventude, at 4 pm, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. New signings Emerson Royal and Jorge Carrascal will be available to coach Filipe Luís for the match.
The classic promises a full house and great expectations from the Mengão fans, who are looking to maintain their lead in the Brasileirão against their traditional rival from Rio de Janeiro.
