What did Pedro say after the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match?

— Happy to be back, and to be scoring again too, after some time out. Coming back takes time, but today was a great match. Not just for me, but for the whole team. We had a very good mid-season break, with intense work — he said, before finishing:

— Thank God today was very much because of that, the work is being done. Jardim asks a lot of this from me, to leave the box, drift around. It’s a style of play I like, to move out of the box, play with my back to goal, turn and create the move. Thank God I’ve been doing that and putting in good performances, just like the whole team — Pedro concluded.

What is the article author’s opinion on Pedro’s situation?

Pedro is the leading striker in Brazilian football and continues to prove his superiority compared to his positional rivals. It is no surprise that the No. 9 should have been included in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup. The striker certainly would not have missed the chances wasted by Igor Thiago and Endrick,” said Davi Esteves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
