Journalist slams Flamengo striker’s performance after Recopa loss to Lanús | OneFootball

Pedro played for 62 minutes against Lanús (ARG)

Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) by 3-2 last Thursday (26th) and ended up as runners-up in the Recopa Sudamericana. After the match, TNT Sports Brasil journalist Vitor Sergio Rodrigues criticized the performance of center-forward Pedro.

— I don't even blame him for not starting Pedro. His performance was pathetic, something disqualifying. The team, even though everything was wrong and unable to produce anything, ran and tried. Pedro looked like he had taken a tranquilizer, a sleeping pill on the field — began Vitor Sergio Rodrigues.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

Pedro was brought on by Filipe Luís in the second half and played for 62 minutes, counting regular time and extra time against Lanús. During this period, the center-forward had one shot, but missed the target. In addition, he had only a 40% passing accuracy and had nine actions with the ball.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Pedro available, Flamengo is now focused on the next challenges of the season. That's because the red-and-black team faces Madureira next Monday (2nd), in the second leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal, at Maracanã.

In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, which starts at 9pm (Brasília time). In addition, SporTV, on cable TV, and GE TV, on YouTube, will broadcast the match, which is worth a spot in the final of the Campeonato Carioca.
