Gabigol received tribute before the classic this Thursday (17), at Maracanã
Flamengo does not want to let the 2-0 defeat in the classic against Fluminense affect the team’s spirit. This is because the setback gave ‘a break’ to the red-and-black excitement, which had come from two consecutive victories with Filipe Luís. Criticized for his poor performance, Gabigol sent a message to the Mais Querido fans after the ball rolled.
Gabriel experienced a night of many emotions this Thursday (17), at Maracanã. Even before the ‘ball rolled’, the athlete received honor for completing 300 games with the ‘Sacred Mantle’. The milestone was reached in the victory against Bahia, in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. However, after the opening whistle, the Fla ended up defeated 2-0 in the classic. On the networks, Gabigol sent a message: “I love you, Flamengo”he wrote.
TRIBUTE BEFORE THE GAME
Gabigol was received by red-black president Rodolfo Landim, football vice Marcos Braz, executive director Bruno Spindel and legal vice Rodrigo Dunshee. Thus, the tribute took place when Flamengo players went up to warm up on the Maracanã lawn. Thus, the directors handed over the shirt with the number 300 to the red-black idol.
GABIGOL IS IN A BAD PHASE
Gabigol is not having the best time wearing the Flamengo shirt. The bad phase was even recognized by the coach and friend Filipe Luís. In a press conference, the Mengo coach admitted that Gabi needs to regain his game rhythm, but sees room for improvement for the attacker within the red and black squad.
The last time Gabigol participated in a Flamengo goal was in the 2-1 victory over Vitória, on July 24th. On that occasion, the number 99 assisted Carlinhos to score Mengão’s second. Since then, there have been 12 games, five as a starter, and none of them have attempted or passed a goal. The data is from ‘SofaScore’.
CORINTHIANS X FLAMENGO
With Gabigol at the disposal of Filipe Luís, Flamengo will face Corinthians this Sunday (20), in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. In this sense, with a 1-0 lead achieved at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro needs a draw to confirm their place in the final. Thus, the ball rolls at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo, with live broadcast of Coluna do Fla on YouTube.
