Filipe Luís's harsh words about Pedro's current situation at Flamengo continue to resonate at Ninho do Urubu and on social media. After being cut from the squad for Mengão's 2-0 victory over São Paulo at Maracanã due to indiscipline, the coach described the center forward's actions as "regrettable." This, however, isn't the first time the player's behavior has been questioned.
In the 2021 Brasileirão, during Flamengo 's 2-1 victory over Fortaleza at Maracanã, Pedro was substituted 20 minutes into the second half by the club's then-coach, Rogério Ceni. Upon leaving the field, the center forward kicked cups of water and banged on the bench to show his frustration . The coach didn't spare the striker's actions, even using the word "regrettable" to describe the action.
Rogério Ceni on Pedro's attitude in Flamengo 2 x 1 Fortaleza: "a regrettable scene"
"I'm sad. I think it's disrespectful not only to me, but also to the player who's coming in . It's not typical of Pedro , who's a good kid. I think this whole national team thing messes with the kid's head. I think it's a regrettable scene, one that has no place in football anymore. You see, he came back from COVID, Muniz scored two goals in the last game, and he had the opportunity to continue playing. I think it's ugly, but I understand that his head may be messed up with this national team situation," Rogério Ceni said.
In 2023, in another 2-1 victory, this time over Atlético-MG away from home, Pedro's actions were again deemed insubordinate by the club's board when he refused to warm up while coach Jorge Sampaoli still had another substitution to make. The situation, however, ended up being sidelined when Pablo Fernández, the Argentine fitness coach, punched the player in the face . The professional was fired, but the center forward missed the squad's training session upon his return and was punished with a fine and a suspension from the next match against Olímpia in the Copa Libertadores.
With Filipe Luís's statement, the striker's representatives haven't ruled out the possibility of looking for a new club for him. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, an agent for the number 9 assured them that they will " try to make an offer to Flamengo ." According to Pablo Raphael of Gazeta do Urubu and Pablo Oliveira, Zenit of Russia is keeping an eye on the striker's situation.
Victory over Internacional in the Libertadores puts Mengão above the main teams in European football, such as the Spanish team and the French champions.
