(UOL/FOLHAPRESS) - In addition to Almada, Flamengo is also looking for a winger and a center forward in the market to compete for a position with Pedro. But if it depends on the number 9, his future competitor will not have an easy life at Rubro-Negro.

Great highlight in the 4-0 rout of Chapecoense this Wednesday (22) - with two goals and an assist - the striker has in 2026 his second best goal average in seven years at the club.

This season there are already 21 goals in 34 official games, in addition to five assists, which gives an average of 0.61 per game.

PEDRO STILL DREAMS OF THE WORLD

Pedro did not make the list of 26 called up by coach Carlos Ancelotti, from the Brazilian team, and did not go to the World Cup. After the thrashing of Chapecoense, the striker was asked if he followed the competition.

"I always say that we have to do well at Flamengo and the team will be a consequence of the work I do here. But I was as a fan, like every Brazilian, rooting for the team. Unfortunately we didn't make it, but now it's time to start the new cycle for 2030, play good football and, God willing, bring the success that everyone wants. Everyone works for this and I hope to continue working for this too", Pedro told TV Globo.

At 29 years old, Pedro was also asked if he intends to be at the next FIFA Date, in September, when the new cycle of the Brazilian team for the 2030 World Cup begins.

"As I said, I have to focus here on Flamengo, the team doesn't just depend on me, there's a lot of competition, great Brazilian football players too. So it's about doing my part, leaving it in God's hands because I always trust in His plan, and that's it. Continue working hard so that, God willing, I can return to the team too", Pedro told TV Globo.

With the two goals against Chapecoense, Pedro surpassed Viveros, from Athletico-PR, and isolated himself in the top scorer of the Brazilian Championship with 12 goals.
