Carlo Ancelotti has until Monday (18) to decide whether to take Pedro, from Flamengo, or João Pedro, from Chelsea (ENG), for the World Cup. According to journalist Gilmar Ferreira, the coach has decided that one of the spots is being contested between the striker from the English club and “9 Bolado.”

— The information I have is that Ancelotti’s only doubt in attack is: Pedro or João Pedro. And the player who could drop out of the squad to make room for Neymar is Andrey Santos (from Chelsea) — highlighted the SporTV commentator.

Does Pedro have a chance against João Pedro?

Both players came through Fluminense, but they are forwards with different characteristics. When it comes to goals, however, Flamengo’s current No. 9 has the edge. Over the last two years, the Rubro-Negro striker has scored 62 times, compared to 50 by the Chelsea player.

Who else from Flamengo could go to the World Cup?

In addition to Pedro, the Brazilian National Team is expected to take Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá, while Danilo is already confirmed. For Uruguay, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela are practically guaranteed. Ecuador is expected to call up Gonzalo Plata, and Colombia, Carrascal.
