The striker Gabigol is one of the most idolized players in the current Flamengo squad. Even before the striker entered the field, fans were already chanting his name. As soon as Tite called the player, the fans went crazy.
In the final stretch of the game, Gabigol played a key role in Flamengo‘s triumph. This is because, at the 39th minute of the second half, Flamengo was awarded a penalty, which the number 99 jersey was responsible for taking. With great composure, the striker deceived the Criciúma goalkeeper, shooting to the left corner of the goal. 2-1 for Flamengo in Brasília.
GABIGOL’S WORDS
— Everywhere I go, I am always very well received. The fans do something wonderful for me, I never expected to be so cherished in all moments, good and even in the bad ones. I have been entering and seeking my space, training a lot. But I have had few opportunities. I think my last game as a starter was five or six months ago -, he declared, before concluding:
— This is very difficult. Sometimes I have been playing, sometimes not. But I have been trying my best. Helping Flamengo is what I want the most. And as I said, very happy for the goal. It is always very special to score for Flamengo – he said, also answering whether he deserves a place in the starting lineup -, Gabigol concluded.
