Flamengo is close to announcing the hiring of coach Tite. The parties agree on the final details of the contract, which will be valid until the end of 2024, when the mandate of President Rodolfo Landim expires. On social media the Rossoneri are wondering about the coach’s relationship with Gabigol, the team’s number 10 shirt. After all, an action by the player, provoking the coach, was marked in the celebration of the Libertadores 2022. However, the J10 shows that this relationship is not only made up of barbs.
Provocation in the electric trio
To celebrate Flamengo’s third Libertadores championship, Gabigol, with the support of the fans, sent a message to Tite. Shortly before the Rossoneri title, Tite excluded the attacker from the list of players called up for the World Cup in Qatar. The choice, obviously, left the player dissatisfied, as well as the fans.
Then the Rossoneri cursed the coach, praising the attacker: “Hey, Tite, go fuck yourself…, Gabigol doesn’t need you”. This way, in the heat of the moment, the player didn’t think twice and sent a message.
“I’m already in the national team, my national team is Flamengo,” Gabigol summed up.
Tite and Gabigol in the national team
Analyzing the relationship between Tite and Gabigol during the time they were together in the Seleção, it is possible to find praise and moments of gratitude. In fact, on several occasions the coach wanted to praise the player in the press conference. On the other hand, the athlete, in his goal celebrations, repaid the coach’s trust.
In June 2021, Tite called up Gabigol to compete in the South American qualifiers. At the time the attacker’s name caught attention, he hadn’t been called up since 2019. After announcing the Rossoneri’s return to Canarinho, the coach praised Gabigol’s moment and quality.
“Gabigol has pace and technical quality. Not to mention the condition of having a good head and being in a great moment at Flamengo,” said Tite.
In January of the following year, Tite praised Gabigol’s stance in bringing forward his return to training ahead of Data-Fifa, which would cover late January and early February.
“Behavior that reaffirms tracking information shows behavior. More than talk it’s behavior, attitude. Coming back with weight, fat, muscle mass condition, shows attention was paid. Shows maturity. Associated with performance,” Tite said .
Gabigol’s numbers with Tite
With Tite in the Brazilian national team, Gabigol began to be called up more frequently in 2019. In total, the forward played 14 matches under Canarinho in the “Tite era”. Of these, seven started as starters. The minutes on the pitch were 653. During this period the Rossoneri scored three goals.
