The coach revealed that he had a conversation with striker Pedro upon his arrival at the club, in June, and the striker answered.

– Since I came here, I came with that in my head. I had a private meeting with Pedro. If he was in any team in Brazil, he would be fighting for a place in the Seleção, why not do it in Flamengo, the team that was very knowledgeable, everyone knows, everyone loves and wants them well. Pedro told me he had no chances, and I said he would. That he has prepared himself, he has improved his training ability, intensity, participation in the locker rooms and overall improvement. He is free, happy and contributes a lot to our team, said Dorival:

– They say: “I gave birth to Pedro because Bruno Henrique is gone.” If I’m wrong, I played in Santos with Gabriel, Ricardo Oliveira, Giovannio or Marquinho Gabriel. Why don’t I play with Bruno, Pedro and Gabriel sometimes? We’ve found a great squad at the moment, but Pedro, in my opinion, has always been a player who should be looked at with great interest by all teams, especially by those who have his rights – added Dorival.

In addition, Dorival Jr. stated that he hopes Tite will find space for Gabi and Pedro to call up the Brazilian national team for the World Cup.

Titi knows them well. They are players that complement each other, can be close, and can play in different roles within the squad. I have no doubt that it is, yes, remarkable. Tite has many names, but I hope they have space, because they are very interesting and decisive players who can contribute a lot to our national team.

‘Team B’ squad criticized against Palmeiras

Of course, firstly because there is no complete knowledge of what is going on in everyday life. Criticism is easy, I understand and assimilate it in a calm way.

I trust the team I put on the field as I train. I will put those who are better adapted, worked and able to give good answers in this field. Perhaps the team that drew with Palmeiras should have had more recognition than the fact itself. Neutral most of the game the captain of the Brazilian national team, who is fighting for a place in the Copa Libertadores final. He is not just any opponent, the team has created many difficulties for Palmeiras.

The possibility of directing the Brazilian national team

Every professional in the world wants to reach their limits, in any field of expertise. It would be no different for everyone who works in Brazilian football. Secondly, we have to wait for the World Cup, God willing, Brazil was a champion, suddenly Tite can rethink this position, a professional at the highest level, ready not to owe anything to any professional abroad. I have great affection for he was my Guaraní companion.

Too sensitive to talk about a hypothesis. I have a contract with Flamengo and it will be carried out until the last day. I couldn’t do that with Ceará and I’m sorry about that, I don’t recommend it to anyone, do what I did, it was the first time I did this in my career. I took it as a feeling, something from my heart, so I gave up and came to Flamingo, grateful for the invitation, to be ahead.
