The 1-0 victory was slim and the Brazilian men’s soccer team was in debt. Leader of the Qualifiers with three wins in three games, Brazil debuted with Pedro tonight, against Venezuela.
The Flamengo forward recalled other occasions. When he was summoned and wearing the Fluminense shirt. At that time, in 2018, he suffered a serious knee injury and had to undergo surgery. He was on his feet for six months and away from the grass. Richarlison replaced him and never left the national team.

– The feeling is unique of having fulfilled this dream of acting in the professional team. It is also a feeling of overcoming everything I’ve been through. Two years ago they called me and I cut myself with a knee injury. I had the strength to get through a difficult time
Praised by Tite at the pre-game press conference, Pedro returned from halftime ready to start the game. But he played only the last 14 minutes. He did not finish, but got a good ball in the pivot position for Roberto Firmino. The shot went near the post of the Venezuelan goalkeeper.
– I always worked to have that opportunity. Today was a very good game for me. Take the weight off your debut, your anxiety. I work for that, to have spaces – said Pedro, who found it easier to debut alongside Everton Ribeiro, Flamengo player and “star”.
The forward always wants to score. But I think of the collective. The victory was more important. The goal comes naturally, with patience and tranquility
– Peter
