Casagrande advises that the attacker plays in a structured team to regain good football
|
0Casagrande does not welcome the possibility of Gabigol playing for Corinthians. Taking into account Timão's current financial problems, the former player believes that, in a short time, the club would be broke with the athlete's presence in the squad. This is because the eventual project presented behind the scenes, with high figures, is incompatible with the current situation behind the scenes.
“Corinthians has R$2 billion in debt. Any financial move you make to hire someone will increase your debt and you don't know if you'll be able to pay it later. They say about Gabriel. If Gabriel comes to Corinthians, Corinthians will break in October. Corinthians ends in October. He won't be able to afford what he promises to Gabriel.”, said Casagrande, on the “Casão Pod Tudo” podcast.
If Gabigol opts for the transfer, Casagrande foresees suffering at Corinthians. As Timão does not have the same environment as Flamengo, there was a sign that the attacker needs another type of scenario to regain his status as a reference in national football.
“He will suffer at Corinthians. The team is not creative, the team is not good... he is unmotivated at Flamengo, the fans are angry with him and rightly so. He scored several goals in titles, Libertadores, Brasileiro, he was top scorer... he was wronged in the 2022 World Cup because he should have gone.”
“He started to have behavior that affected him on the field. Nowadays it is debatable. For him to play again, he has to go to a team that offers a good team and that motivates himself.”, he warned.

Journalist projects red-negro striker leaving and considers possible new club

0Gabigol's future at Flamengo gained a new chapter. On Friday (28), the striker refused a new offer for an extra season to renew his contract. The molds did not please the representatives and everything indicates that the exit is a matter of time. Walter Casagrande also imagines this way. For the former player, Gabriel Barbosa is not in the board's plans within what was offered to the attacker. Casão believes that number 99 has lost his way in recent years, putting football in the background.
“I think his cycle is over at Flamengo. Even because of the incompatibility he created with the fans and the club. Since being a Rapper, Lil Gabi... from then on he didn't play ball anymore. There were some flashes, but after he split between being a football player and an influencer...it ended”, said Casagrande, on UOL Esporte.
“There are other players who jumped on this bandwagon and ended up falling because football needs of focus. When you share it with other things you are no longer focused on scoring goals or deciding games. So, that was his biggest mistake. Did you wear the Corinthians shirt? He finished. There the great incompatibility was created. And it is a direct collaboration with Tite, as he has not liked Gabriel for years”, added Casão. According to ge.com, Flamengo offered a one-year contract, until the end of 2025, and a salary increase of almost 50%. Despite the good salary increase, the short contract period did not please the 27-year-old player's representatives at all.
Betting that Gabigol will be able to resume his focus on a change of scenery, Casagrande says that the striker would be an excellent hiring. In an adjusted team, the commentator foresees the resumption of his success on the field.
“If Gabriel takes the extra field that is in his life, changes teams and is motivated to score goals, he will play a lot ball. He's a center forward, young, but Flamengo doesn't care anymore, neither does he. There's no more time for him there. In one year, he guarantees 18, 19, 20 goals. Ensures. I don't rule out Palmeiras taking Gabriel. I don’t rule it out,” he says.
