Amidst the FIFA Date, Flamengo gave four days off to the red-black cast, who will report back on Friday morning (05). In the meantime, even while traveling with his wife and twin daughters, Pedro has been using the rest period to stay in shape.
In summary, Pedro used social media to post a record from the gym where he is staying with his family. It's worth remembering that, after all the recent backstage controversy at Flamengo, the number 9 bounced back and is now considered a starter in Filipe Luís's team.
First of all, in July, Pedro became a highlight in sports news. That's because the press published a screenshot in which a Flamengo director stated that he would agree to negotiate the number 9 for 15 million euros (R$ 95 million).
Disturbed by the situation, Pedro ended up underperforming in training with the Flamengo squad. As a result, coach Filipe Luís publicly criticized the player precisely because of the number 9's performance in training. At the time, the red-black coach described the striker's behavior as "regrettable and ridiculous".
After the public exposure, Pedro bounced back at Flamengo and has since been regaining space in Filipe Luís's starting team. As a result, the player improved his performance in the team's training and has maintained good physical shape, as he has been doing on his days off.
Filipe Luís included Pedro in 11 games since the player returned to have space in the team. During this period, the number 9 scored seven goals and provided two assists. Notably, in the historic rout against Vitória, the striker scored his seventh hat-trick with the Sacred Mantle.
