PVC accuses Bruno Henrique of shooting Flamengo in the foot | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique no longer wants to play as a center forward, and Pedro has a fractured arm, leaving a spot open in Flamengo's attack

Bruno Henrique stated that he no longer wants to play as a center forward for Flamengo. According to journalist Paulo Vinícius Coelho (PVC), the forward is harming the team and causing a technical decline in the squad coached by Filipe Luís.

— This decision by Bruno Henrique is terrible at the moment. Bruno Henrique is the player most similar (to Pedro). He has nothing to do with Pedro and, at the same time, is the player most similar to Pedro to maintain the tactical system," said PVC this Friday (24), adding:

— Plata is great, but he’s not a center forward like Pedro. Bruno Henrique gives you aerial play, speed, and depth. Now he doesn't want to play as a center forward? That’s shooting yourself in the foot for Flamengo," highlighted the journalist.

What did Bruno Henrique say?

Flamengo beat Racing (ARG) on Wednesday (22), but Pedro left the game early to be diagnosed with a fractured arm. Unaware, Bruno Henrique left the match where the center forward is in a better moment and, therefore, no longer wants to compete for the position.

— It's not my position, everyone knows that. I made it clear to Filipe that I want to help the group, but in another position that isn’t the number 9, because we have the best center forward in Brazil, Pedro, from the Brazilian national team. He’s doing really well. Filipe understands that it’s his moment too," pointed out Bruno Henrique in the mixed zone.

Did PVC exaggerate?

Bruno Henrique was, in fact, the immediate substitute for Pedro. However, Plata has already played centrally in Flamengo’s attack on other occasions this season. Furthermore, Wallace Yan and Juninho may recover.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Saturday (25), when they face Fortaleza. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, in Ceará.

As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of this 30th round match of the Brasileirão through YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Meanwhile, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
