During his participation in Young Pan's "Bate-Bate" program, Flavio Prado indicated that Pedro reached a level that vitor rocque Still seek. The journalist pointed out that the player formed by Athletico-PR will need to rebuild his image after a discreet passage to Barcelona. “I think Pedro is in front. Vitor Roque did very well on Cruzeiro and Athletico. Now he will have to make a career resumption. Pedro, depending on how it will come back, reached the levels that Vitor Roque did not reach. ”



Palmeiras striker returns to Brazil as the most expensive player


“The problem is that it cost 25 million euros. To leave, he would have to cost the same 25 million euros. But the image he left in Europe was bad, so much so that he was discarded quickly. ”Prado said. Commerving expectations, Vitor Roque can become one of the main players of Brazilian football. Flavio Prado believes that if the young striker rediscover his best football, he can become fundamental to Palmeiras and still arouse the interest of the European market again. “If he comes back it is because he managed to convince everyone he can (shine). It will be great for Palmeiras. There will be a player flying and can still earn money. ”


The journalist also recalled other cases of Brazilian athletes who had passages deleted in Europe and managed to resume their career in national football. Gabigol , Pedro and Gerson, who act by more dear , are examples of players who have returned to Brazil and have achieved success. They had this expectation of Vitor Roque, they did not return. Gabigol, Pedro ... Gerson came back, but it was that Sampaoli thing falling in love with him, and the Marseille Olympique has no such high investment power. ”

For Prado, the tendency is for Palmeiras to hold Victor Roque for longer than expected. Like what happened to other players who returned to Brazilian football, the striker can consolidate himself as one of the team's highlights and follow the club for seasons. Like Pedro, Gerson and Gabigol were great for CRF. ”

Flamengo beat Internacional 1-0 this Wednesday (13) , at Maracanã, and started with an advantage in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Despite the positive result, striker Bruno Henrique assessed that the team lost performance in the second half and explained the reasons for the drop in intensity.


" In the second half, for the first 15 minutes , we want to score right away, and it ends up deviating a bit from what we planned at halftime. We end up being a bit exposed, and the opposing team scores a lot in the first half. In the second half, they have to open up to try to score," said the number 27.


"That's what happened against Internacional. They scored the whole time in the first half. We had more possession, more shots, and more through balls. We took possession in the first half, and in the second half, because we wanted to score quickly , we ended up opening up a bit. It's an area we have to improve on. Jorginho just told me that, so we have to try to improve even more in the first 15 minutes of the second half," he added.


STATISTICS SHOW DOMINANCE

The numbers back up the striker's assessment. In the first half, Flamengo largely controlled possession, registering 73% of the ball and eight shots on goal. In the second half, possession dropped to 59%, and the Rio de Janeiro team managed just two shots, compared to the Rio Grande do Sul club's four attempts.


Game sequence

With the victory, the red-black team needs only a draw in the second leg to guarantee a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The decisive match will be next Wednesday (20), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre . Before that, the teams will face each other again next Sunday (17), for the Brazilian Championship, again in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
