Pedro is Flamengo's big name in 2024. Even last season, when Flamengo was not in its best years, the striker was one of those who "saved" themselves from criticism. As a result, after scoring a goal in the victory over Palmeiras last Wednesday (31) in the Copa do Brasil, the number 9 reached 29 official goals this year and is approaching the select group of the five greatest scorers in the history of Maracanã.< /p>
With 93 goals at the Sacred Temple of Football, Flamengo's top scorer is one goal away from entering the Top 5. With one more ball in the net, Pedro will equal Waldo (Fluminense) and Quarentinha (Botafogo), each with 94 goals at Maracanã.
The first chance Pedro will have will be against Palmeiras again, but for the Brasileirão. Both face each other at Maracanã on the 11th. Maintaining their excellent record against São Paulo, P9 has a great chance of breaking the mark. This is because he has seven goals in 11 duels (one goal every 97 minutes) against the team playing for Flamengo.
Even at the beginning of the second half with these numbers, Pedro is taking great strides towards having a better season career top scorer.
Flamengo at the top of Maracanã
Both in the recent history of the stadium and since its inauguration, Flamengo is present on the list of Maracanã's main players, whether with goals or number of games. Even the games with the biggest attendance and the most notable matches at the stadium also involve Mais Querido.
In the list of greatest scorers of all time, Zico, a sacred idol, comes first as the greatest scorer in the history of Maracanã (334 goals). In second is Roberto Dinamite, but in third is Romário, who of the 187 goals scored, several were with the Sacred Mantle.
And, in the post-reform period for the 2014 World Cup, the three biggest Temple markers are recent Rubro-Negro idols. In addition to Pedro, Gabigol (78) and Bruno Henrique (55), respectively, are the top scorers in this new phase of Maracanã.

Flamengo coach on Barcelona: "They are an extremely qualified team"
Flamengo U-20 coach Bruno Pivetti participated in FlaTV's MengoCast and analyzed the opponent before the final: “ Barcelona is an extremely qualified team, very talented, with technical players , good reception, passing and one-on-one, as well as defensive balance,” the coach began.
"Belletti did a great job last season, and the news is that he's been promoted to the B team . We've already seen their Champions League final and the semifinal against AZ Alkmaar . They're a tough team to beat, but we'll prepare ourselves to win the title we've always dreamed of," the coach declared.
The Garotos do Ninho are trying to repeat last year's feat, when Rubro-Negro, led by Filipe Luís, beat Olympiacos-GRE 2-1, with goals from Caio Garcia and Felipe Teresa and won the first U-20 World Cup in the club's history.

Leading the Brasileirão and qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores after eliminating Internacional, Flamengo's priority is strengthening its squad for the rest of the season. One of the board's main concerns is the European interest in Léo Ortiz , the starting defender and a Brazilian national team selection .
With the transfer window open, the defender is attracting interest from foreign clubs, but the board has made it clear that it will only consider a move if an offer is outside the norm . After the victory over Internacional at Beira-Rio, the number 3 spoke about his continued presence at the club.
Léo Ortiz on the future: "I see myself very much within Flamengo"
"I see myself very much at Flamengo . I'm very happy. I want to achieve many things here, many great things. Of course, I'm also happy that people are watching my work, that big clubs are watching my work. It's a sign that I've been doing a lot of good work. So, I'm very happy, I feel very much at Flamengo , very motivated to achieve great things.
The defender also emphasized that he doesn't let himself be swayed by market speculation: " Of course, the future belongs to God . I have people who look after my career and manage it very well, so that at no point is my mind clouded by these negotiations that happen in football," he concluded.
Now, the Rubro-Negro's focus is the Brasileirão. Next Monday (25), at 9 pm, at Maracanã, the team faces Vitória, who is fighting against relegation . Mengão is the leader of the competition with 43 points, four more than Palmeiras, second place in the competition.
The striker was in Mengão's sights before the deal with Samuel Lino, but chose to remain in European football and will play in the English championship.

Targeted by Flamengo for part of the 2025 season , Noah Okafor already has a new destination. This Thursday (21), the 25-year-old Swiss striker was officially announced by Leeds United , champion of the last edition of the Championship and back in the Premier League.
Flamengo was considering signing a more mobile striker with different characteristics than Pedro , and Okafor was one of the names considered. However, Milan's request was considered high, which forced the Flamengo board to back down in the negotiations.
Noah Okafor, former Flamengo target: "I always dreamed of playing in the Premier League"
Leeds has already reached an agreement with the Italian side, shelling out €19 million (approximately R$121 million) to complete the purchase. The player signed a contract until June 2029: " The coach called me and said he wanted me . I felt confident, talked to my family, and realized I had to accept. I've always dreamed of playing in the Premier League, and it's a dream come true. I'm ready for this new challenge," Okafor declared after the announcement.
Interestingly, the striker faced Leeds shortly before the deal. During preseason, while still with Milan, he started a friendly against the English side in Ireland, which ended in a 1-1 draw . On that occasion, Okafor played the full 90 minutes.
Flamengo sought alternatives to reduce Milan's asking price, but was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, other clubs emerged as interested, including John Textor's Botafogo , which considered investing heavily. However, negotiations only progressed with Leeds.
A product of Basel in Switzerland, Okafor rose to prominence with Red Bull Salzburg, where he played 110 matches and scored 34 goals in four seasons. His performance earned him a transfer to Milan in 2023/24, but the striker failed to establish himself . After a low-key spell, including a loan spell at Napoli, where he played only four times, he is now seeking greater regularity in the Premier League.
