On Wednesday night, during the match between Flamengo and Amazonas, at Arena da Amazônia, a series of banners against striker Gabigol will attract attention. The words “Gabi Judas” and “We are not fans of scoundrels” appeared on the messages directed at the player, generating controversy among fans.

The banners were strategically positioned to ensure maximum visibility for both the media present and for the player himself. This action reflects a growing dissatisfaction on the part of the fans with Gabigol, one of Flamengo's main recent idols.

A RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS NOT BEEN PLEASED

The origin of discontent appears to be multifaceted, involving both performance issues on the field and attitudes off it. Gabigol, who has been a key player in Flamengo, has seen its popularity fluctuate in recent months. Among the criticisms, complaints about behavior considered arrogant by some fans and the drop in performance at crucial moments of the season stand out.

To date, Gabigol has not officially commented on the tracks. Flamengo, in turn, issued an official note asking for respect for the player and reinforcing the importance of unity between team and fans. In the note, the club highlighted Gabigol's achievements, such as the decisive goals that guaranteed important titles, including the 2019 Copa Libertadores.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
