Pedro celebrates goal and hails team display: “We are Flamengo again” | OneFootball

Flamengo secured another win in the Brazilian Championship by coming from behind to beat Santos 3-1 this Sunday at the Maracanã. Scorer of the Rio side’s first goal, Pedro admitted the team underperformed in the previous match and praised the squad’s display against Peixe.

“Every goal is special to me. Even more so because of the way the game was going, with us behind. We were below our level in the last match, but today we were Flamengo again, with a very good performance, and now we have to keep working to continue improving,” he told Ge TV.

With the goal, Pedro also drew level with Gabigol as Flamengo’s top scorers of the century, both with 161 goals. The striker celebrated the milestone and stressed that he was not “anxious.”

“Thank God, I was able to reach the top scorers list of the 21st century. Things have always happened naturally, and I was never anxious because of that. I always tried to give my best and score in every match,” he added.
