Now, the Elf from Rio finally wants to once again create a deeper run and on the offensive, the hopes are mainly on Pedro - where he will run up against the opponent with mixed feelings. When he contracted his severe injury in the form of a cruciate ligament tear last season, the opponent was also Cruzeiro. The highly talented striker, who has long attracted the interest of European clubs, thus missed his debut for the national team of the country, as he had recently been appointed for the first time for the Selecao.

For Fluminense, the 21-year-old is enormously important, because before his injury, he had scored no less than 10 goals in 19 league games. In mid-January of this year, he was back on the pitch for the first time, although only for a half in a match in the Campeonato Carioca, the state championship of Rio de Janeiro, where Tricolor in the semifinals, the eventual winner and city rivals Flamengo in another edition of the had always beaten hot-blooded Fla-Flu derby. A mission that was probably a little premature, since he ran aground again at the start of the current season in the Campeonato Brasileiro. A match that only lasted for 30 minutes and on the following two match days made the mission even shorter. However, this did not stop him from scoring one goal each. So it seems, the most dangerous striker in the shirt of Fluzao is back again.
