Pedro moved by Flamengo fan's gesture before game against Grêmio | OneFootball

Fan spoke to Pedro in Brazilian Sign Language as he left Flamengo’s 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 signs.

Pedro was approached by a fan, who said ‘with his hands’: “I like you very much.” Visibly moved, the number 9 hugged the supporter. 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 Rubro-Negro side faces Grêmio in the 15th round of the Brasileirão, at the Porto Alegre club’s Arena.

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

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