Pedro’s performance against Chile marked his third international cap, following his debut in November 2023.
He has his sights set on the World Cup next summer, where he hopes to be Brazil’s number nine.
Speaking of Brazil, he stated, “When we talk of football, we think about Brazil. Brazil represents love and passion. As a kid, I spent a lot of time watching Neymar, as well as Ronaldo, Romerio, and Ronaldinho on YouTube. Everyone wants to wear No. 9 for Brazil in the World Cup. I must complete my duties here, and Mr. [Carlo] Ancelotti will make the final decision. I believe I have a good chance.
“I’ve come to a big club at the right time, because I want to be in the Brazil squad for the World Cup,” said the attacker. “If I play, my dream will have come true.” In Rio, the kids were approaching and saying, ‘Hey, make sure you score for us’.”
Pedro has had a promising start to the new season, impressing at the Club World Cup earlier this summer.
He scored three goals in his team’s successful campaign and has two league goals this season.
