Pedro reveals what he'll do for Brazil call-up, anxious after Flamengo game | OneFootball

What did Pedro, Flamengo forward, say about his expectations for a call-up to the Brazilian National Team?

Forward Pedro gave a press conference after the draw between Flamengo and Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. In one of his remarks, the No. 9 did not hide his anxiety to find out whether his name will be on Ancelotti’s final Brazil squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

— I still don’t know what time training will be tomorrow, but I’ll definitely be following it with high expectations. God knows all things, and my life is in His hands, and everything is alright. Whatever happens will be by His will. So, I am at peace and confident —, he said before concluding:

— I worked for this here at Flamengo. Thank God, I became a starter again, got a run of games, and kept doing what I have always done for Flamengo. I hope to be there. I did everything I could and will keep doing so to represent Flamengo well and then the Brazilian National Team —, Pedro concluded.

Pedro is one of the forwards still fighting for a spot in the ‘Seleção’. This Sunday (17), Flamengo’s No. 9 took advantage of Ancelotti’s visit to Arena da Baixada and showed the Brazil coach what he can do.

That is because, in the match against Athletico-PR, Pedro scored Flamengo’s equalizer. As a result, besides helping Mengão earn a point in the Brasileirão, the striker also became the competition’s outright top scorer, with nine goals.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Pedro awaits the call-up, the Flamengo squad is focused on the team’s upcoming matches this season. On Wednesday (20), Mengo host Estudiantes (ARG) in the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores.

Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the match with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, TV Globo (free-to-air) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
