Striker Pedro is out of the clash between Flamengo and São Paulo , valid for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The number 9 did not participate in the collective training session on Friday morning (9), at Ninho do Urubu, and only carried out physical work separately. The technical committee, led by Filipe Luís, chose to leave him out of the list of athletes related to the duel this Saturday (12), at Maracanã.


Internally, the club acknowledges that Pedro's current salary, estimated at R$1.1 million per month, is below that of players of similar standing . Before suffering an injury during a Brazilian national team training session, the player had a verbal agreement with the club's previous management, led by Rodolfo Landim, to review his contract, but these discussions were interrupted after the injury.


Even with limited playing time, Pedro's season stats are impressive. The center forward has scored four goals and provided one assist in the two months since his return. He also has an 80% shooting percentage and five decisive passes during this period . Despite this, the striker's use remains limited.


FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Back in Brazil after the Club World Cup , the squad returns to the Brazilian Championship with the match against São Paulo. The team is expected to start with the following lineup: Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, De La Cruz, and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Plata, and Bruno Henrique.


THE GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN LEADERSHIP
Even with absences and team adjustments, the coaching staff's main objective is to keep Flamengo at the top of the table. The club has 24 points from 11 matches, playing one game less than its direct rivals, and is currently leading the Brasileirão. In its last match, the team thrashed Fortaleza 5-0, also at Maracanã, and now seeks to maintain its consistency in front of its home crowd.

Vitória is preparing for a challenging clash in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The Bahian team faces Flamengo this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Despite the two teams' different moments in the table, striker Osvaldo showed confidence in seeking a good result in Rio de Janeiro.


"We're going to Maracanã and trying to play a great game. We haven't lost at Maracanã in a few games, so I think we can build on that to put in a great performance. Flamengo is a tough opponent; they're the best team in our football world , and they've been achieving great results," the striker declared, before adding:


"But on the field, it's 11 against 11, especially against Vitória, who have a history of playing great games and surprising in several matches. I think we have what it takes to get there and get a great result . We know how difficult the game will be," Osvaldo concluded.


FLAMENGO IS THE LEADER OF THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Flamengo takes the field to defend its sole lead in the Brasileirão , with 43 points. Filipe Luís's team is enjoying an excellent run of form , having gone six games unbeaten in the competition.


In addition to a solid run in the national championship, the Rio de Janeiro team secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they had already beaten the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio, cementing their good run.

Flamengo's upcoming match against Vitória raises alarm bells for Filipe Luís. Three players on the squad are suspended and risk suspension for the next match against Grêmio if they receive another yellow card this round.


Among those suspended, two are regular starters in defense: Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz. Both have two yellow cards and, if cautioned again, will be out for the remainder of the competition.


DEFENSE UNDER ATTENTION


The red-and-black coach may have a difficult time building a defense. Danilo, recently recovered, emerges as an immediate alternative if one of the starting center-backs is penalized . However, if both receive cards against Vitória, Filipe Luís may resort to a player from the youth academy to form the defense alongside Danilo.

In addition to the defense, defensive midfielder Allan is also suspended, but the situation is less of a concern for the coaching staff . With Erick Pulgar injured, Allan had been gaining minutes, but lost his place after the emergence of Saúl, who is expected to continue as a starter alongside Jorginho. Even if Allan receives his third yellow card, the Jorginho-Saúl duo is likely to be kept for the match against Grêmio.


FLAMENGO DEFENDS LEADERSHIP

Flamengo, the sole leader of the Brazilian Championship with 43 points, is enjoying a positive run. The team is six games unbeaten in Série A and secured its place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they defeated the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio Stadium, reinforcing their positive momentum under Filipe Luís.
