Arrascaeta e Jorginho comemoram gol do Flamengo (Adriano Fontes/Flamengo)
Sem papas na língua, Craque Neto não tem dúvidas de que o Flamengo é o melhor time no futebol brasileiro e com sobras. Mais do que onze titulares de altíssimo nível sob o comando de Filipe Luís, o ídolo do Corinthians destacou as opções no banco de reservas que seriam titulares nos outros 19 times que disputam a Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro.
Segundo o apresentador da Band, o Rubro-Negro é, inclusive, o favorito aos principais títulos deste segundo semestre. Na vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Internacional, o ex-jogador ficou impressionado com o nível apresentado e a facilidade para vencer o rival gaúcho.
“O que joga o Arrascaeta, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, o que jogou o Plata. O Flamengo é um time que… não dá para ninguém no futebol brasileiro. E aí entra o Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, é um negócio absurdo. Daquilo que entendo de futebol, dificilmente não ganha a Libertadores e o Brasileirão. Vai nadar de braçada na Libertadores e estará na final. Está muito à frente dos outros 19 da Série A. Incrível, é quase impossível alguém ganhar do Flamengo”, disse Craque Neto.
Craque Neto exalta Pedro
Autor do gol que sacramentou a classificação do Flamengo na Libertadores, Pedro é tido por Craque Neto como o melhor camisa 9 em atividade no futebol brasileiro. Apesar da sua admiração por Yuri Alberto, o titular do Os Donos da Bola acredita que o centroavante do time carioca está na frente.
“Que jogador é o Pedro? Para mim, ele é o melhor centroavante do futebol brasileiro. Depois vem o Yuri Alberto. É uma coisa impressionante o quanto o Pedro nasceu para fazer gol. O Internacional tomou um vareio. É brincadeira esse time, não dá para competir”, afirmou.
Depois de quase um ano sem atuar, Pedro vai aos poucos ganhando uma maior minutagem com Filipe Luís. Entretanto, não é ainda considerado um titular absoluto, isso porque Bruno Henrique tem atuado muitas vezes centralizado no ataque.
Flamengo foca no Brasileirão
Líder do Campeonato Brasileiro com 23 pontos, o Flamengo se prepara para o jogo contra o Vitória, segunda (25), às 21h (de Brasília), no estádio do Maracanã. Apesar da diferença na tabela, Pedro não acredita em facilidade.
“Não existe jogo fácil no Brasileirão. Toda partida exige muito da gente. Por isso, é sempre essencial contar com a presença da Nação, que tem nos acompanhado em todos os momentos. A gente precisa seguir trabalhando com humildade, corrigindo o que ainda pode melhorar e valorizando os bons resultados que vêm acontecendo”, declarou.

Stock up, stock down for rookies after the 2025 NFL preseason
Isaac TeSlaa showed out across four games: The Lions rookie caught four of his five contested targets, brought in three touchdowns and earned an excellent 84.0 PFF receiving grade. The Cardinals have yet to see what Walter Nolen can do: Similar to last year with Darius Robinson, Arizona is dealing with an injured first-rounder who is sidelined with an uncertain return timetable. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes The preseason is over, and many of the NFL’s rookies showed off their talents en route to a higher standing on their respective rosters. Some of them also battled adversity and could face an uphill battle for playing time in the regular season. With the regular season around the corner, we’ll examine a few of the players who saw their stock rise or fall based on preseason events. Stock Up: QB Jaxson Dart, […]

Thus, we are going to do our best to identify a few running backs to give managers an advantage before they begin their drafts. The average draft position listed is from a consensus between ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo! for where the player is picked on average in a 12-team, redraft league.

Over the last five games, including the playoffs, he ran at least […]
