In an interview with FlaTV this past Sunday (05), striker Pedro Rocha spoke about the stoppage of the championships due to the coronavirus pandemic and admitted that he was practically 100% physically before this period. The player suffered an injury at the end of 2019.

"Before this break, I was practically 100%, feeling much better, very well physically. Unfortunately, we had this break, but I continue, at home, working hard with the training that the physical trainers are giving me," he explained.

Reassessment at Flamengo

"The medical department is excellent. They re-evaluated me, as they do with all incoming athletes. They created a whole work plan with me, which I believe is very important at this beginning. So, I'm always doing 100% what they ask, giving my best effort to meet the standards. I believe this period, these first few months at Flamengo, have been very good for me," he stated.
