Scorer of the first goal for Flamengo in the match against Corinthians this Saturday (11), in the sixth round of the Brasileirão, Pedro entered the top-15 of scorers in the history of Mais Querido. Thus, with the goal against the São Paulo team, number 9 reached the mark of 123 goals with the Sacred Mantle, equaling Nonô, a center forward in the 1920s.
Pedro arrived at Flamengoin 202 and has played 242 matches, with an average of more than one goal every two games. Furthermore, the number 9 is an absolute starter in Tite's team with Gabigol as his reserve.
In the current squad (and in the 21st century) Pedro is second only to Gabigol in terms of goals. That's because Gávea's number 10 scored 155 times and is the sixth highest scorer in Flamengo's history.
HOW MANY GOALS LEFT TO ENTER THE TOP-10?Now, Pedro will have have to score 25 more times to be able to enter the Top-10 greatest scorers in the history of Flamengo. He has already scored on 16 occasions this season and is Brazil's top scorer in 2024. Furthermore, the center forward was Carioca's top scorer and scored the historic 13,000th goal for Mais Querido.
FOCUS ON NEXT CONFRONTATIONIn the match against Corinthians, Pedro left feeling pain in his adductor and knee and Gabigol had to take his place in the second half. Therefore, the number 9 will be re-evaluated at Ninho do Urubu this Monday (13) to see if he can play against Bolívar.
Flamengo returns to the field this coming Wednesday (15), in match against Bolívar, at Maracanã, in the fifth round of the Libertadores, at 9:30 pm. Mais Querido needs victory to dream of qualifying.

Corinthians tries to leave administrative chaos you are in. To this end, according to information from the GE portal, it decided to hire executive Fred Luz, who worked at Flamengo between 2013 and 2018. The professional will be the “Chief Executive Officer (CEO)” of the São Paulo club. The announcement was made informally by Corinthians president, Augusto Melo, this Friday (21).
Corinthians is going through a huge administrative crisis at the beginning of President Augusto Melo's administration. According to journalist Rodrigo Vessoni, from Meu Timão, around 18 directors have already left the club since the beginning of the year. The most recent departures were Rozallah Santoro, financial director, and Fernando Alba, assistant director of football.
The crisis exploded after the unilateral termination of the contract by Corinthians' master sponsor. The betting house Vai de Bet decided to interrupt its relationship with the São Paulo club after allegations of corruption in contract negotiations. Interestingly, the agreement between the black and white team and Vai de Bet triggered a clause between Flamengo and its master sponsor, Pixbet, which guaranteed that Rubro-Negro would not receive less than any national rival.
Now 70 years old, Fred Luz arrived at Flamengo in 2013, at the beginning of President Eduardo Bandeira de Mello's administration. The executive first assumed the role of marketing director, but later became CEO. At Flamengo, he is appointed as responsible for improving rights and TV agreements and structuring the fan-partner program.
Still at Flamengo, he hired foreign consultants to help with base management and prevention of injuries. In 2018, Fred Luz left Rubro-Negro to dedicate himself to the presidential campaign of João Amoedo, from the Novo party. Bruno Spindel, current executive director of football, took over as CEO at that time.

In addition to the leadership of Brasileirão, the game between Athletico-PR and Flamengo is also worth the country's artillery. In 2024, no one scored more goals than Pedro on national soil. The Mengão star found the net 21 times in 27 official games, disregarding the pre-season in the USA. But Gonzalo Mastriani, the opponent's player this Sunday (16), is the one who comes closest.
The Athletico-PR player, who hosts Flamengo at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Arena da Baixada, scored 18 times in the season. To do so, he needed 24 matches. In other words, the average of 0.7 goals per match is the same for both players. In addition to the victory to distance himself in the table, it is important for Pedro to score and move even further away from the rival player.
Mastriani has the same 18 goals as Nicolas, from Paysandu, and the list of Brazil's top scorers in 2024 continues with Anselmo Ramon, from CRB, and Júnior Santos, from Botafogo, both with 17 goals. Pedro's advantage is good, but a hat-trick from Mastriani would be enough to equal Mengão's Shirt 9. The match ends up marking a separate duel between the players.
Even because the promise is of many finishes. Athletico-PR and Flamengo are in the Top 3 of the Brasileirão clubs that take the most shots on goal. Only Palmeiras appears ahead, with an average of 17.9 shots per game. Flamengo's average is the second to appear: 16.6. With 15.9, Athletico is the third team that takes the most risks. Therefore, the chance of one of the players leaving their mark is high.
Pedro appears in the probable for Athletico-PR x Flamengo, but became doubtful after Gabigol's trainingThe team has several absences for Athletico-PR x Flamengo, with even coach Tite suspended for the match. But Pedro became a doubt after the rotations between Camisa 9 and Gabigol among the starters in the last training session before the game against Athletico. In principle, the striker should play, but there is a possibility that the duel with Mastriani will not happen. At least, not during the 90 minutes.
With Varela, Viña, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta in the Uruguayan National Team and Pulgar in the Chilean National Team, the team also has the absences of Allan, Cebolinha and Ayrton Lucas, with muscle problems, Igor Jesus with an ankle sprain. The probable lineup of the team that will be led by Matheus Bachi, Tite's assistant, for Athletico-PR x Flamengo is as follows:
Rossi, Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Léo Pereira; Léo Ortiz, Gerson and Lorran; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Pedro (Gabigol).
