📹 Filipe Luís hits out at Pedro: Ridiculous, almost pathetic | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated São Paulo 2-0, at Maracanã, this Saturday (12), and remained isolated in the leadership of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.

But the climate is not good at all over at the Urubu's Nest.

In the press conference after the victory, coach Filipe Luís talked about leaving Pedro out of the list of related players for the match against Tricolor Paulista.

Normally very calm, the rubro-negro coach raised his tone, spoke of "lack of respect" and that the center forward had an attitude that "bordered on the lamentable".

"What happened is that Pedro's attitude this week bordered on the lamentable. It was ridiculous. It's not new that he's been training badly, but this week he broke the principle of training culture. What he did was a lack of respect. This kind of behavior can be contagious and that's why he was left out of the list. I hope he apologizes to his teammates".

In addition, Filipe Luís stated that Pedro is training poorly and being the last in all the data pointed out by the GPS.

"My eye tells me, but we have GPS data that says Pedro is last in absolutely everything this week. A player who is last in all physical valences, which is intensity, acceleration, and deceleration, cannot perform. They can blame the coach, Arrascaeta, but the blame is his".

😳 What happened?

Last Wednesday (9), Pedro alleged "heavy legs" and did not complete the training. His teammates did not like the attitude and went to complain to Filipe Luís and Flamengo's management.

The center forward defended himself, alleging that he was not well and preferred to preserve himself.

Thursday's (10) training was normal, but Pedro was informed on Friday (11) that he was cut from the collective activity and would not go to the game against São Paulo.

Not even on the bench, Pedro went to Maracanã to watch the match at the stadium.
