Pedro gets special reason to ‘give his all’ in Flamengo v Athletico-PR | OneFootball

What is the special reason for striker Pedro in Flamengo vs Athletico-PR?

Striker Pedro is eagerly awaiting a spot on Brazil’s final squad list for the 2026 World Cup. Given this situation, Flamengo’s No. 9 has an extra reason this Sunday (17) to ‘give it his all’ in Mengo’s match against Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão.

One of the main question marks in Ancelotti’s squad list concerns the names that will be called up for the attack. At the moment, Pedro is battling João Pedro for a place in the ‘Seleção’.

Looking at the current stage of the season, Pedro may have the edge over João Pedro, since the Brazilian striker is not in good form at Chelsea (ENG). In addition, whenever he has been included in the national team squad, the English club’s player has failed to convince Carlo Ancelotti.
