Pedro explains how Atlético-MG pitch helped Flamengo in thrashing | OneFootball

Flamengo thrashed Atlético-MG this Sunday (26) in the 13th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo’s 4-0 thrashing of Atlético-MG featured two goals from Pedro this Sunday (26). As a result, the striker highlighted how the match at Arena MRV may have been Rubro-Negro’s best performance of the year, since the synthetic pitch allows the ball to move better.

— I believe it was one of our best performances this year, without a doubt, because of how difficult the match was, at their home ground, on a field different from what we’re used to. But we imposed our game — said Pedro to Flamengo TV, before adding:

— It’s also good here because the ball can move well, it runs faster, so we managed to impose our style. From the first minute, we made things difficult a bit there in the first half, but then we scored the second and managed to control the game well, and that’s it — he said.

How did Fla beat Atlético-MG?

Arena MRV is in Minas Gerais, but Rubro-Negro felt right at home. So, the Most Beloved had no trouble against Atlético-MG and made it 3-0 in the first half. Pedro, Arrascaeta and Plata found the net.

After the break, the number 9 scored another goal, which needed VAR confirmation. With that, Mengão reached 26 points, six fewer than leaders Palmeiras. Fla, however, have a game in hand compared to the São Paulo side.
