Gabigol lives the longest drought since arriving at Flamengo

Gabigol lives the biggest goal drought since he signed with the Flamengoat the beginning of 2019.

The striker has not scored since February 15. The last victim was Volta Redonda, who was leaked twice by the player.

This Thursday’s defeat (13) to Maringá culminated in the tenth straight game in which Gabigol went blank. In half of them, the athlete was replaced in the 2nd stage.

Pedro, on the other hand, scored four times in the same period.

POSITION CHANGE AND IRRITATION

In the midst of the drought, Gabigol lives troubled moments in Flamengo’s daily life.

Still with Vítor Pereira in charge, he revealed that he asked the Portuguese to use him as a center forward, and not as a more backward man. Faced with the request, the coach opted to remove the number 10 shirt from the team and kept Pedro in charge of the attack.

Shortly afterwards, he got angry with a Fluminense fan after losing the Campeonato Carioca title and responded to the provocation of the fan, who was filming.

WHO WILL COMMAND GABIGOL?

Without Vítor Pereira on the bench, Jorge Jesus and Sampaoli stand out as options for Flamengo’s command, which is looking for a coach.

Jesus is the team’s idol and very dear to Gabigol, who never hid his admiration for the current Fenerbahce coach.

Sampaoli also likes the player: when he worked at Sevilla, he asked the Spanish club to probe the attacker’s situation.
