English journalist hails Filipe Luís’ approach with Pedro at Flamengo | OneFootball

Tim Vickery highlighted that Filipe Luís has been getting the most out of Pedro at Flamengo

Pedro was a crucial piece for Flamengo's victory over Palmeiras by 3 to 2, last Sunday (19), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the English journalist Tim Vickery praised the forward and highlighted that Filipe Luís has been able to get the most out of the athlete on the field.

“This is the work of a coach. He has brought out things in Pedro that we haven't seen for a very, very long time”, said the English journalist Tim Vickery, during the program this Tuesday (21), on SporTV.

— Two weeks ago, Filipe Luís basically challenged Pedro. And he almost said to Pedro: “Look, you are a luxury player, a rabbit killer […] You are not fit for decisive games. Now go prove me wrong” —, he added.

HOW WAS PEDRO'S GAME?

Some Flamengo fans questioned whether Pedro was the right name to play as a forward in such a fast-paced attack. However, the player showed on the field that he is the ideal piece. Against Palmeiras, he stole a ball and scored a goal, in addition to having suffered a penalty.

“As a finisher, he (Pedro) is sensational. Sensational. But he needs to add more skills, because the game is demanding more and more from the number 9”, concluded the English journalist during the program ‘Redação SporTv’ this Tuesday (21).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Pedro available, Flamengo takes the field again this Wednesday (22), against Racing (ARG), at Maracanã. The red-black team faces the Argentinians in a match valid for the first leg of the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores.
