Commentator blasts Gabigol and highlights: “he doesn’t produce anything”

Gabigol's contract is nearing the end and the draft is getting smaller and smaller. In this way, the striker once again became a topic on sports programs and for commentator Rodrigo Mattos, the number 99 does not deserve more time on the field than he has received.

This is because, in the draw in last Sunday's classic (15), Carlinhos was chosen by Tite to replace Bruno Henrique, making it clear that, at this moment, Gabigol is the red-black's third option. 

"The most important thing is not that Gabigol is happy, it is that Flamengo is happy with the level of Gabigol's performances. And I think that neither Flamengo nor any fans are satisfied. It's not possible to put it into account the lack of rhythm, of minutes. He's had a zillion chances, he comes in and doesn't produce anything, he never gains rhythm. Then, it's always this thing of giving continuity. , said Rodrigo Mattos on 'Uol'.

Soon afterwards, Renato Maurício Prado disagreed with Rodrigo's opinion: “I agree that Gabigol is not delivering anything, but I think Tite should have put him as a center forward instead of Pedro. Two, three games, give it a chance. He only replaces Arrascaeta, he has nothing to do with that position. Putting Carlinhos in front of him, no matter how bad he is, is absurd to me. In fact, the entire Maracanã thought that (against Vasco)”, he commented.

Gabigol's last goal for Flamengo was on July 20th, for the Brasileirão. Therefore, with Pedro's injury, the number 99 will have to reestablish himself to score again for Rubro-Negro.

It is worth remembering that the striker's contract with Rubro-Negro ends on December 31st . Thus, Gabigol only has three more months to complete his stay at Mais Querido with a "golden key".
