Video: Flamengo's Pedro grants Palmeiras fan's request at Brazil camp | OneFootball

Flamengo forward signed a Palmeiras fan’s shirt in Brisbane

Flamengo forward Pedro is enjoying a brilliant spell and drawing attention from fans all over the world. During the Brazil National Team’s preparations in Australia, the red-and-black striker was at the center of a widely talked-about moment when he granted a special request from a ‘rival fan’.

A Palmeiras supporter waited until training in Brisbane to get the green-and-white shirt signed. The scene was caught on video and quickly spread across social media, proving a level of respect that goes beyond ‘club rivalries’.

This season, Pedro has played 47 matches and scored 25 goals for Flamengo. In addition, the No. 9 has also provided eight assists for his teammates. As one of Brazil’s top scorers in recent years, the player was called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the FIFA international window, which runs from September 21 to October 6.

In the ‘Seleção’s’ first commitment, the center forward started on the bench against Australia in Townsville. As a result, the coach brought on the Flamengo striker in the second half, and he played for around 30 minutes in the 1-1 draw. However, the expectation is that in Brazil’s next two friendlies, the marksman will get more opportunities.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEDRO?

After last Friday’s match (25), Brazil and Australia will face each other again this Tuesday (29). Kickoff is at 7 a.m. (Brasília time) at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

Right after that, the squad will travel to India, where the green-and-yellow side will take on the host nation on October 3 at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two countries.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti says he is using this run of friendlies to rotate the squad and test new options. Besides Pedro, Flamengo has another representative on the list: left winger Samuel Lino, who has also been standing out under coach Leonardo Jardim.
