Neto pokes fun at Filipe Luís over Flamengo v Cruzeiro decision: “Madness” | OneFootball

Filipe Luís chose the duo Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata, which irritated Neto

The 0-0 draw with Cruzeiro on Thursday (02) saw a scarcity of shots from Flamengo. This is because only two Flamengo shots were directed at Cássio. For the presenter Neto, a Corinthians idol, the coach is joking around by playing without a center forward.

— What madness for Flamengo to leave Pedro on the bench. Come on, you must be kidding, Filipe Luís. You're joking to leave Pedro on the bench. This is a joke, man. Come on, Samuel Lino not playing anything and not putting Pedro -, highlighted Neto during Os Donos da Bola, on Band, this Friday (03).

— It's because Pedro is quiet. He took a slap on the ear from the physical trainer who is… I don't know if he's working at Atlético. Anyway, Flamengo has the best squad in the country -, added the Corinthians idol.

Why didn't Pedro play against Cruzeiro?

For the match at Maracanã, Filipe Luís opted for the duo Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. However, the choice did not result in goals, but the coach defended that the strategy was to disturb Cruzeiro's high line.

Did Pedro agree to take a slap in the face?

Neto refers to the year 2023, when Pedro refused to warm up during the game between Flamengo and Atlético-MG. Thus, Pablo Fernandez, physical trainer for Jorge Sampaoli, punched the forward in the face.

When will the center forward have a new opportunity?

Pedro will be available to coach Filipe Luís this Sunday (05) to face Bahia, in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador.
