Palmeiras striker says he’s ‘worse’ than Flamengo player | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player did Flaco López, from Palmeiras, mention?

Pedro is one of the main strikers currently active in Brazilian football. In an attempt to compare himself to his professional rivals, Flaco López, from Palmeiras, considered himself ‘worse’ than Flamengo’s number 9, Pedro.

In a ‘quiz’ conducted by ‘Gazeta Esportiva’, Flaco López compared himself to several strikers in Brazilian football. Thus, the Palmeiras player chose Pedro over himself in a head-to-head. However, when it came to players like John Kennedy, from Fluminense, Carlos Vinícius, from Grêmio, Yuri Alberto, from Corinthians, among others, the Argentine from the São Paulo team chose himself.
