Plata on clash with Flamengo player before Pyramids match | OneFootball

What did Plata, Flamengo's forward, say before the match against Pyramids (EGY)?

Flamengo may count on the return of Pedro in the match against Pyramids (EGY) this Saturday (13th), for the Intercontinental. In an interview this Friday (12th), Plata made a point of showering praise on the number 9 and spoke about how the ‘fight’ for a spot in Mengão’s attack has been.

— The competition here at Flamengo is always very healthy. Everyone here is together, joking around… I think that if tomorrow (Saturday) Pedro is available, it will be good to have a striker like him at our disposal. Everyone knows the ability he has. He’s eager to return to the pitch and score goals. If he comes back, he’ll be an important reinforcement," said Plata in an interview in the mixed zone in Doha, Qatar.

WHAT IS PEDRO’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

The return of Pedro to the field is getting closer. That’s because, in a press conference this Friday (12th), Filipe Luís admitted that the number 9 has a chance of being available as early as Saturday (13th) against Pyramids.

It’s important to note that Pedro arrived at the Intercontinental still recovering from a thigh injury. However, in recent training sessions, the striker has returned to practicing with his teammates on the field.

WILL PLATA BE A STARTER IN FLAMENGO VS PYRAMIDS?

While celebrating the possible return of Pedro to the pitch, Plata is still unsure whether he will start against Pyramids. In Flamengo’s victory over Cruz Azul (MEX), the Ecuadorian began on the bench and came on in the second half.
