Edmundo, a former player known for his talent and explosive temperament on the pitch, analyzed current football, highlighting athletes who, in his view, have characteristics similar to his, whether in technique or personality. In an interview with the Só Se For Agora podcast, the former striker commented on players who most catch his attention, mentioning names like Gabigol, from Flamengo , and Dudu, from Palmeiras.
During the interview, Edmundo spoke about his admiration for younger and irreverent players. One of the names mentioned was John Kennedy, from Fluminense, champion in 2022. However, the former player was categorical in stating that, although he admires the young man's talent and personality, he believes that his own technique was superior. Another name that caught his attention was Estêvão, a natural dribbler, something that Edmundo himself highlighted as one of his great qualities on the field.
"I'm enchanted by some players, like John Kennedy, for their personality, but technically I was better than him. Estêvão is another, a great dribbler, and I considered myself a natural dribbler", commented the former player.
PRAISE FOR GABIGOL AND DUDU
Among the most experienced players, the former striker mentioned Dudu, from Palmeiras, and Gabigol, from Mais Querido. Edmundo made a point of praising the strong personality and technical quality of both, although he highlighted that each one has a different playing style.
"Dudu is one of the players I like to watch. He plays Palmeiras' number 7, which makes me identify a little with him. Gabigol, from Mengão, is an athlete with a strong personality, very confident in himself, although he has a different style than me, he did some things on the field. which I also did, perhaps even more intensely", commented Edmundo, with good humor.

Eliminated by Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil, Palmeiras will not have striker Dudu available for a rematch at Maracanã in the Brasileirão. The number 7 felt his calf during training this Saturday (10) at the Football Academy and is out of the match against Mengão, this Sunday afternoon (11), at 4pm (Brasília time). The information comes from journalist André Hernan.
In addition to Dudu, Abel Ferreira's team will also be without Felipe Anderson and Mayke, who started the last game against Flamengo and were injured in the first half. Felipe is trying to recover from an eye injury, while Mayke still feels muscle pain in her calf. Due to a knee sprain, young Estêvão is also a confirmed absence from Palestra Itália.
Dudu has been in crisis at Palmeiras since his departure to Cruzeiro was announced. However, he backtracked after receiving pressure from an organized fan base. The situation created uneasiness and president Leila Pereira even said that the attacker is experiencing the end of a cycle: “Everything in life has a cycle that begins and one that ends”, he said on SporTV. After that, Dudu gained few chances with Abel.
