What a thing huh! Pedro's possible replacements for Flamengo have a lower goal average than number 9

With the window closed, Flamengo can only replace Pedro's absence with players without a contract, but speculated names have worse numbers

With the injury of Pedro, Flamengo should look for a free striker on the market to reinforce itself and fight for titles until the end of the season. The Flamengo player was injured in training with the Brazilian team, tearing the anterior ligament in his knee, and will only return in 2025. Without its top scorer and with the window closed, the club can only look for athletes without a contractual relationship.

Some names already appear linked to the club, such as Depay, who was offered to the club, and Martial, who was wanted by Flamengo. Choupo-Moting is another option. However, all the names that have emerged are behind Pedro in goal averages, whether in his career or in his best season.

With an average of 0.46 goals per game, Pedro sees Depay as the closest , with an average of 0.39. However, Choupo-Moting is the one who has the closest characteristics to Pedro, playing more centrally as a reference. But Choupo-Moting's average is not good, being last on the list, with 0.23 goals per game throughout his career.

It is also worth mentioning about Choupo-Moting that before his time at PSG , from 2018 to 2020, the striker was a main part of the attack of all the teams he played for: Hamburg, Nurembeg, Mainz, Schalke 04 and Stoke City. Even so, the goal average is low.

Pedro – 0.46

Depay – 0.39

Martial – 0.25

Choupo-Moting – 0.23

The best season of each of the names

Comparing the best year of each one, Pedro also takes the best. With the injury, Pedro ended the season with an average of 0.70 goals per game, the best average of his career, although his desire to surpass 2023, his highest scoring year, fell by the wayside. The only one to achieve the same average was Depay. However, it happened in 2014/15, almost ten seasons ago. Depay's most recent best average was 0.55 in 2020/21. His difference, however, is his offensive contribution, also distributing a good number of assists.

Pedro – 0.70 (2024)

Depay – 0.70 (2014/15) and the most recent best was 0.55 in 2020/21

Martial – 0.48 (2019/20)

Choupa-Moting – 0.57 (2022/23)< /p>

Pedro was close to his top scoring season

Before being forced to end his year due to a knee injury, Pedro was five goals away from reaching at 35 this year, equaling the same number of goals as last year, his highest scoring season. Furthermore, there was only one goal left to reach 39 direct appearances, which would also equal last year's figure.

Flamengo já sabe qual “armadura” utilizará para buscar o bicampeonato mundial. Na grande final da Copa Intercontinental, marcada para a próxima quarta-feira (17), contra o Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a equipe brasileira entrará no gramado do Estádio Ahmad Bin Ali vestindo seu uniforme predominantemente branco. A definição do visual traz consigo uma forte carga simbólica e supersticiosa para a torcida rubro-negra.

A combinação escolhida para o duelo decisivo será composta por camisa, calção e meiões brancos. Este é o mesmo conjunto utilizado pelo time na estreia da competição, quando venceu o Cruz Azul. No entanto, a referência histórica que empolga os torcedores remete a um passado mais glorioso: foi vestindo exatamente essas cores que o Flamengo de Zico e companhia derrotou o Liverpool por 3 a 0 e conquistou o mundo em 1981, no Japão.

A superstição do "Manto" branco surge como um elemento extra de confiança para o confronto contra o atual campeão da Champions League, em um embate que colocará frente a frente as duas maiores potências de seus continentes em busca da taça inédita neste formato.

DETALHES DA GRANDE DECISÃO

O palco está montado em Al Rayyan, no Catar, para receber o confronto final da temporada internacional. A bola rola para Flamengo e PSG a partir das 14h (horário de Brasília), e vale o biocampeonato Mundial do Mais Querido.

ONDE ASSISTIR AO JOGÃO

Para garantir que a Nação Rubro-Negra acompanhe cada detalhe deste jogo histórico, a cobertura de transmissão será ampla. Na televisão aberta, a TV Globo exibirá a partida para todo o país. Na TV fechada, o canal SporTV fica responsável pela transmissão. Já no ambiente digital, os torcedores terão opções gratuitas através do YouTube, com as transmissões do Ge TV e da CazéTV.
