Pedro frustration caught on lip-reading after Flamengo substitution in 2-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino | OneFootball

Pedro scored in Flamengo’s 2-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino, then left frustrated when substituted, with lip-reading suggesting he complained about being taken off by Leonardo Jardim. He and the head coach later embraced.

According to Coluna Do Fla, voice actor Gustavo Machado and influencer Velloso independently reached the same interpretation of the exchange. Velloso has previously said lip reading is never 100 percent certain, adding it depends on camera angle and image quality.

Jardim said the striker wanted to stay on longer, which he called normal for players at this level. He told Pedro it was his turn to come off and added he holds the forward in high regard.

Despite the frustration, Pedro leads Flamengo for appearances in 2026 with 47 matches. He has 3,165 minutes, third in the squad behind goalkeeper Rossi on 3,900 and defender Léo Pereira on 3,187.

Club football pauses for the Fifa window, so Flamengo are next in action on 8 October against Santos at Vila Belmiro, in round 29 of the Brasileirão.
