Presenter of the program “Seleção SporTV”, Andre Rizek stated that the imbroglio involving Pedro e Flamengo due to the aggression suffered by the attacker by the physical trainer of Jorge Sampaoli benefits Tiquinho Soaresdo Botafogoin the fight for a place in the Brazilian Team.
Pedro was punished by Flamengo’s board for one game for not accepting to go to the warm-up in the match against Atlético-MG and for missing a training session. The striker will not face Olimpia, this Thursday, at Maracanã, for the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
– Who is the great beneficiary of this situation is a Botafogo player, Tiquinho Soares. If Pedro, who played in the last World Cup, was already called up this year and seems to be out of the bag at the moment, he hasn’t been playing, Tiquinho Soares, aged 32, becomes a great option for the Brazilian National Team, for the Diniz’s first call-up on the 18th – opined Rizek.
– Nobody argues that today there is no Brazilian striker playing more ball than Tiquinho Soares. The question remains whether Diniz will call up the best of the moment, and then Tiquinho will be called up, because he’s been playing more than everyone else. For those who think they can only call who will be at the top of the Cup, maybe that will hurt Tiquinho, because he will have 35 years there. Tiquinho can be the big winner of this battle between Pedro and Flamengo – added Rizek.
The first summons of Fernando Diniz in charge of the Brazilian national team will be on August 18, for the games against Bolivia (9/8), in Belém, and Peru (9/12), in Lima, for the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
