Pedro is the name of the moment at Brasileirão 2024. With an impressive performance, the striker stands out as the leader in goals and direct participation in goals, adding 12 contributions in total. What makes the feat even more remarkable is his consistency: he has been involved in scoring in all of the last six matches, a mark few can achieve.


In 15 games, Pedrorocked the networks seven times and also provided five assists. This means he has a goal involvement every 98 minutes, a statistic that highlights his efficiency on the field. When it comes to taking advantage of opportunities, Pedro shows incredible precision: his clear chance conversion rate is 58%, a figure that puts many renowned strikers to shame.


A MAGIC SEASON 


In addition to his goals and assists, Pedro is also a player who creates many opportunities for his teammates. He has already made 22 decisive passes this season, being a true maestro in attack. His 33 shots, with 19 of them hitting the target, show that he not only tries, but also manages to cause constant danger to the opposing defense.


These numbers are not just statistics; they tell the story of a player who is in top form and making a difference for his team. Pedro's ability to actively participate in goals, whether scoring or assisting, is a difference that has helped boost the team's performance in the championship.
