In recent years, the Flamengohas faced constant challenges in defense, and one of the most discussed topics among fans is the performance of their defenders. Among the names that generate the most debate, Léo Pereira is one that divides opinions. Although he is a player of recognized quality, there is a constant feeling of uncertainty about his performance, even when he shows glimpses of his potential.

Léo Pereira, signed with great expectations in 2020, has already shown at times that can be a good defender. However, a considerable portion of the fans question the trust that can be placed in him. Despite his qualities, he makes mistakes that bring back memories of his more irregular performances in the past. This creates difficulty in fully trusting his work, especially in decisive games.


THE DEFENDER EXPERIENCES UP AND DOWN

The main criticism of the defender Léo Pereira is in its lack of consistency. In some games, he is able to stand out positively, displaying good reading of the game, correct anticipations and even participating in offensive plays, such as headers on corners. However, there are times when he makes mistakes that put the team in dangerous situations, as the fan mentioned in the tweet, referring to the difficulty in trusting the player 100%.

This type of performance fluctuation ends becoming frustrating for those who follow the team closely. Fans expect a defensive player to always be safe and regular, especially when it comes to a club like Flamengo, which frequently competes for important titles. However, when a defender alternates between solid performances and moments of inattention, this puts the team's defensive strength at risk.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
