Rio de Janeiro football had another normal afternoon. This is because, Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-0, at Maracanã, and isolated themselves at the top of the Campeonato Carioca. Striker Pedro was one of the best on the field, with a goal and an assist. After the match, the number 9 responded about the boos he received recently and demonstrated calm.


“Nothing will shake me, both with praise and boos, I will be the same. I have to be focused on the field to do my best for Flamengo, as I have done since 2020, when I arrived here”, declared the striker to TV Band.


REMEMBER THE BOO /p>


The curious and contradictory event happened in the ninth round of the Carioca Championship, when Flamengo beat Boavista 4-0. On that occasion, Pedro had scored a goal and missed a penalty, when he was replaced by Gabigol, at 18 minutes of the second half. Euphoric with Gabi's entry and disappointed with the wasted penalty, part of the fans present at Maracanã booed the number 9.

PEDRO IS SYNONYMOUS OF A GOAL IN 2024


< Flamengo's absolute top scorer this season, Pedro has already found the net nine times this year. So far, seven of these goals have been in the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the striker is the competition's second top scorer, behind only Carlinhos, from Nova Iguaçu, who has eight.
