What Did Adriano Imperador Say About Pedro, from Flamengo?

The Brazilian National Team has been experiencing a shortage of ‘number 9’ strikers in recent years. Amid all this uncertainty, the name of Pedro, from Flamengo, emerges as one of the options already being considered for the 2026 World Cup. Prioritizing this topic, Adriano Imperador was sincere when speaking about whether or not the Mengão striker should be called up to wear the ‘Amarelinha’ (Brazil jersey).

The full conversation between Romário and Adriano Imperador will air this Thursday (11). However, in the ‘spoilers’ released by the ‘RomárioTV’ channel, ‘Didico’, as he is affectionately called by fans, said the following about Pedro: “my number 9 for the Brazilian National Team is him. He is a true center forward.”

HOW IS PEDRO’S SITUATION IN THE 2025 SEASON?

Pedro has experienced ups and downs throughout this season at Flamengo, but at the moment, he has found his good form and his scoring touch again. That's because the number 9 has returned to the starting lineup and has once again become a key player in the team led by Filipe Luís.

In recent matches, Pedro has remained in the squad and contributed both as a ‘goal scorer’ and as a ‘provider’. Against Grêmio, in the match before the start of the FIFA break, the number 9 provided the assist for Arrascaeta to find the net at Maracanã.

PEDRO, FROM FLAMENGO, IS HE IN THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM?

Even in this good moment, Pedro was not called up by Carlo Ancelotti for this FIFA break. Thus, for the attack, the Brazilian National Team features the following names: João Pedro (Chelsea-ENG), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal-ENG), Estêvão (Chelsea-ENG), Luiz Henrique (Zenit-RUS), and Raphinha (Barcelona-ESP).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (14th) to face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will cover the details of the match on YouTube. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the game.
