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 IN THE SEASON

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.

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 CURRENT SITUATION


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.
