Pedro touched by Flamengo fan's gesture before Grêmio clash | OneFootball

Fan spoke to Pedro in Brazilian Sign Language as the Rubro-Negro squad left the hotel in Porto Alegre

It’s already a tradition. After scoring, Pedro bows and, in Brazilian Sign Language, sends the message: “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.” This Saturday (09), as the team left the hotel in Porto Alegre heading to Flamengo training, the number 9 became emotional after receiving a message in sign language.

Pedro was approached by a fan, who said ‘with his hands’: “I like you a lot.” Visibly moved, the number 9 hugged the fan. The moment was captured by reporter Guilherme ‘Flazoeiro,’ outside the place where the squad is staying.

HOW LONG HAS FLAMENGO BEEN IN PORTO ALEGRE?

After the problems that occurred against Independiente Medellín (COL) on Thursday (07) in the Libertadores, Flamengo traveled straight to Porto Alegre. This Sunday (10), the Most Beloved faces Grêmio in the 15th round of the Brasileirão, at the Porto Alegre club’s Arena.

Flamengo fans are eagerly waiting to see whether the striker will do his traditional celebration. If he does, it could also earn him the top scorer spot in the Brasileirão. That’s because Pedro leads the race, tied with Viveros of Athletico-PR, with eight goals.

In addition, every goal brings Pedro closer to the World Cup. Competing with names like Igor Thiago, Rayan, and Endrick, the number 9 hopes to impress Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti even more in order to make the squad announcement on May 18.
