CT Ninho do Urubu is celebrating! This is because the idol Pedro celebrates his birthday this Thursday (20) and completes a new cycle: 27 years old. On a day of preparation to play a game worth leading the Brazilian Championship, the top scorer was honored by Mengo on social media.
“OUR IDOL AND GUNNER PEDRO HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY! Pour it out, Lord! He arrived at Mais Querido in 2020 and has already won nine titles! There are 128 goals with the Sacred Mantle!
Brasileirão (2020), Recopa Sul-Americana (2020), Supercopa (2020 and 2021), Carioca (2020, 2021 and 2024), Libertadores (2022) and Copa of Brazil (2022). Congratulations, best wishes and SRN, P9! The Nation embraces you! And we’re going for more, much more!”, Fla posted on social media.

Pedro at Flamengo
Rubro-Negro declared, Pedro arrived at Flamengo in 2020 and began his journey with his favorite club, already winning titles and recording important numbers with the Sacred Mantle. There were 42 games played and 21 goals scored.
The following year, Pedro continued to lift cups, but still spent most of the season on the bench, as Gabigol was the owner of the red-and-black attack. Still, he took to the field on 58 occasions and scored 20 times.
In 2022, “refreshments” came. Pedro took over the starting line-up, formed Flamengo's attacking duo with Gabigol and won his first Libertadores with Mengão. For the continental competition, number 9 was elected King of America. The season also ended with the Copa do Brasil trophy, and the year in question, there were 29 goals in 59 matches.
The following year, Pedro did not win titles and experienced great turbulence at Flamengo, with problems inmates and aggression. But nothing was able to stop the revered top scorer from turning things around and starring in the highest scoring season of his career, with 35 goals in 61 matches.
In 2024, absolute starter in the red and black attack, top scorer for Flamengo and Brazil and experiencing his best phase with the Sacred Mantle, Pedro is close to surpassing his 2023 numbers and has an incredible 21 goals scored in 28 games!
In search of more goals and titles, Pedro will have the opportunity to celebrate his birthday in style. This Thursday (20), the number 9 will face Bahia, in a game that is worth the leadership of the Brazilian Championship. The attacker's goal is to score goals, bow and give life to the saying that says “it's my birthday, but it's your present”.
With Pedro on the field, the ball will roll to Flamengo and Bahia at Maracanã, at 8pm (Brasília time), in a game valid for the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Flamengo's transfer window has not gone unnoticed among Brazilian clubs — and has caused some discomfort. After the 0-0 draw between Bahia and Sport, last Saturday (02), coach Rogério Ceni made a statement when commenting on his club's difficulty in bringing in reinforcements, directly citing the signing of striker Samuel Lino by the Rio de Janeiro club.
Former Flamengo player Rogério Ceni talks about Bahia's transfer market: "If I were just going to spend any amount, I would bring Samuel Lino"
"Do you think we won't try to do what's best? There's a limit. There's no point in me telling you. If we were just going to spend any amount, we'd bring in Samuel Lino (from Flamengo ), pay €22 million, and that's it, we'd solve the problems . But that's not how it works. We don't have the capacity to make a signing like that," Ceni said in a post-match press conference.
Brazilian soccer's second transfer window opened on July 10, and Flamengo began cautiously, simply monitoring the market . However, in the following weeks, the board accelerated and brought in four key reinforcements: Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
The first signing of the transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez arrived on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Atlético de Madrid. The signings of Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal cost a combined €43 million (approximately R$273.5 million) .
Even after these four high-profile signings, the club is ruling out any further "crazy" moves in the transfer market. However, it is still negotiating with Fiorentina (ITA) for striker Lucas Beltrán. Flamengo has already reached a financial agreement with the Italian club , but is now trying to convince the Argentine player to return to South American football.

Last Saturday (02), Flamengo officially signed midfielder Jorge Carrascal , making him the fourth reinforcement of the current transfer window. The Colombian signed a four-year contract and had his name published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) , which makes him eligible to play in national competitions. However, he will not be able to play in the decisive match against Atlético-MG, for the Copa do Brasil.
Carrascal only participated in one official training session with the red-black squad. His presentation took place this Monday (05), during a press conference at Ninho do Urubu. After speaking to the press, the midfielder went straight to the field and carried out his first activity under Filipe Luís' command.
Despite already being regularized by the CBF, the player was not registered in time for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil . Therefore, he will be out of the return match against Atlético-MG, this Wednesday (6), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte.
Unable to play in the Copa do Brasil, Carrascal will continue training with the group and could be selected for the upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro matches , a competition in which he is already eligible to play. The Colombian is expected to make his Flamengo debut soon.
Playing for Dynamo Moscow, Carrascal enjoyed his best season since arriving in Europe . Check out the player's stats:

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face each other again this Wednesday (6), at 7 pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be held at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , with live broadcast on the Premiere and Sportv channels.
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, Galo won 1-0, which guarantees them the advantage of playing for a draw . Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro Red-Black team needs a simple victory to take the decision to penalties or win by two goals to guarantee direct qualification.
Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.
For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."
