As soon as he got off the team bus, the new number 99 immediately headed towards the Flamengo fans. Shouting “Uh, I’m Gabigol”, the attacker crossed one of the guardrails and distributed autographs and photos to those present.
In addition to Gabigol’s affection for fans, the star’s new look caught their attention. He has removed his usual thick beard and opted only for a goatee for the new phase of his stay with the Rio de Janeiro team.
The mutual demonstration of affection between athlete and fans occurs in one of the most delicate moments of Gabriel Barbosa’s stay at the Gávea club. In recent days, a photo with the Corinthians shirt was leaked on social media and he had lost the number 10 Flamengo shirt.
Seeking to find peace with the fans, the number 99 will have to start Wednesday’s match against Amazonas on the bench. In the first match, at the Maracanã, Flamengo won 1-0, with a goal from Pedro.
You understand the controversy with the Corinthians shirt
Initially, Gabigol’s team had denied the veracity of the image of the athlete wearing the uniform of the San Paolo team. In a conversation with UOL’s André Hernan last weekend, however, the striker himself admitted to having worn the shirt, apologized to the Flamengo fans and expressed his desire to renew his contract with the club Gavea.
Other controversies
Before the episode with the Corinthians shirt, Gabigol was already going through a turbulent moment with the fans. He recently spent more than a month away from Flamengo activities after receiving a two-year ban for attempted cheating in a doping test.
The attacker’s defense, however, had a suspensive effect and the athlete returned to the pitch for Flamengo.
