The year has not been easy for Gabigol. Since Tite's arrival at the end of last season, the striker has been on the bench. Furthermore, a suspension for allegedly "cheating the anti-doping test" took the striker by surprise, as he is currently playing thanks to a suspension effect.
Therefore, Gabigol started as a substitute in the match between Flamengo and Vitória , but came on and provided the assist that guaranteed the 2-1 victory, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Accustomed to the starting team, this was not the first time that the player was decisive after coming off the bench.
See when number 99 decided the match, coming off the bench
-Flamengo x Cabofriense. For the 2019 Carioca Championship, he came on at 24 minutes into the second half and provided the pass for Bruno Henrique's goal in the 4-0 victory. P>

Leader of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (03) to face Ceará, away from home, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. The match will be broadcast by Record, on Open TV, by CazéTV, on YouTube, and by Premiere, on pay-per-view .
With only one player missing for the match, Ceará is expected to field a full-strength squad. The likely starting lineup includes : Bruno Ferreira; Fabiano Souza, Marcos Victor, Willian Machado, and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Dieguinho, and Galeano; Lourenço, Pedro Henrique, and Pedro Raul. Coach: Léo Condé.
Flamengo should field a full-strength team , maintaining the idea of prioritizing the Brazilian Championship. The tendency is for Mengão to start the game with: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro (Ayrton Lucas); Allan (Evertton Araújo), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique. Coach: Filipe Luís
Ceará has only one confirmed absence: defender Luiz Otávio, who is injured. Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured right foot , Danilo, who strained his right thigh, and Michael, who is experiencing ankle pain. Luiz Araújo was rested for load control. Pedro and Wallace Yan are suspended for accumulated bookings. De La Cruz remains doubtful.
The midfielder never achieved the expected prominence when he left Mengão for the Spanish capital and is close to becoming a player for the red-black rival.

After a low-key stint in Europe, Reinier, a product of Ninho do Urubu, is back in Brazil. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the attacking midfielder has already said goodbye to Real Madrid and has reached an agreement with Atlético-MG . The player is expected in Belo Horizonte in the coming days, where he will undergo medical examinations and sign a contract . The contract will be for four and a half years, the newspaper revealed.
Talks between Reinier and Atlético-MG began in June, when the Minas Gerais club launched an inquiry and received a positive response from the player. The initial proposal, a loan with an option to buy, was met with Real Madrid's demand for financial compensation.
As the window progressed, negotiations resumed and culminated in a definitive agreement. In recent weeks, the player had been training with Real Madrid's B team , but according to Marca, he was no longer part of the club's plans.
Before signing with Atlético-MG— Flamengo 's opponent in the Copa do Brasil round of 16—Reinier was speculated as a potential reinforcement for the Rubro-Negro. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, the Rio de Janeiro club made an inquiry but backed off due to the high costs of the deal.
The decision not to move forward involved not only the contract value, but also the high commissions demanded by the player's representatives— deemed incompatible with the player's current situation . As a result, Flamengo turned its attention to Lucas Beltrán, from Fiorentina.
Reinier arrived at Real Madrid in 2020, surrounded by high expectations, but failed to establish himself at the Spanish club. Unlike Vini Jr., also formerly of Flamengo, and Rodrygo, the midfielder never even played a match at the Santiago Bernabéu .
Over the past five years, he has spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Girona, Granada, and, most recently, Frosinone in Italy— where he enjoyed his best spell since leaving Brazil . In total, he has played 105 matches, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists.
