The Brazilian team is having difficulty defining the owner of the number 9 shirt and 10 players were tested after the 2022 World Cup. But for Romário there is no argument: Pedro is the best center forward in the country. And Shorty understands the ball in the net!



The Flamengo striker has been sidelined since September last year, when he suffered a serious injury to his left knee during training with the Brazilian team. The expectation is that Pedro will return in the second half of 2025.


During his participation in the Charla Podcast, this Tuesday (14), Romário highlighted the good moments of Raphinha, from Barcelona, ​​and Matheus Cunha, from Wolverhampton, but he didn't sit on the fence when asked who should be the team's number 9.


“As much as Raphinha plays very well, Matheus Cunha in England, the best 9 we have in Brazil is Pedro, the best goal scorer. And, with him coming back, if he comes back like he was before the injury, I'm sure he'll be our starting 9. It was supposed to be much earlier. He plays little (in the World Cup), he has to play, said the former striker and current president of America-RJ.

Romário referred to the 2022 World Cup, when Pedro was called up by Tite, but played in just two matches: 64 minutes against Cameroon and 84 against Croatia. Last season, before getting injured, the striker had 30 goals in 43 games for Flamengo.

Brazilian and CONMEBOL Libertadores champion with Botafogo last year, Luiz Henrique was praised by Romário and is part of the list of six players who impress the former striker in national football.

“Here in Brazil, the person who really impressed me last year was Luiz Henrique. The goal scorer we have in Brazil is Pedro and, if he gets in shape, Gabigol. Dudu, who went to Cruzeiro, Arrascaeta plays like hell, Gerson is intelligent, plays like hell”, he highlighted.

One of the greatest strikers in world football, Romário scored 1000 goals throughout his career and played for clubs such as Vasco, Flamengo, Fluminense, Barcelona, ​​PSV and Valencia. Today, at 58 years old, he is president of America-RJ.
