What did Pedro say after the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match?

— Happy to be back, and to be scoring again as well, after some time out. Coming back takes time, but today was a great match. Not just from me, but from the whole team. We had a very good mid-season break, with hard work -, he said, before concluding:

— Thank God, today was very much because of that; the work is being done. Jardim asks a lot of this from me, to leave the box and drift. It’s a style of play I like, moving out of the box, playing with my back to goal, turning, and creating the move. Thank God I’ve been doing that and putting in good performances, just like the whole team -, Pedro concluded.

What is the article author’s opinion on Pedro’s situation?

Pedro is the top striker in Brazilian football and continues to prove his superiority compared to his positional rivals. It’s no surprise that the No. 9 should have been included in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup. The striker certainly would not have missed the chances wasted by Igor Thiago and Endrick,” said Davi Esteves, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
