Gabigol's 2024 is not good at all. As a reserve with Tite at the start of the season, the player was suspended for two years for allegedly attempting to cheat an anti-doping test. Flamengo, however, remains hopeful that the penalty will be suspended and that the number 10 will be able to play this year. However, the club has already moved behind the scenes and signed striker Carlinhos, from Nova Iguaçu.
The one who spoke about the matter was the former red and black number 10, Diego Ribas was not above the wall and came to Gabi’s defense. Ribas, was present at the Fut Summit 2024 event and commented on Gabigol's case. The two were teammates during their Flamengo days. Furthermore, the striker has in the former midfielder a captain and idol reference, due to the history also built at Santos.
“I believe that there may have been some errors, perhaps, in behavior or something. I didn't really delve into everything that happened. I know Gabi, I trust his character a lot. I'm sure, and then I can say with certainty, that he didn't do anything to mask any kind of thing, any prohibited substance that he ingested, because that definitely didn't happen. So it is important to put this in the balance, and that this situation can be resolved as soon as possible”, he said.
Starting of the selection with Dorival JúniorStill at the event, Diego was asked about the beginning of the Brazilian National Team's work under the command of Dorival Júnior. The two were champions of the Copa do Brasil and the 2022 Libertadores at Flamengo.
“(I see) it with good eyes. I think Dorival arrived at the national team very well prepared, in all aspects. He has done an exceptional job. We are in a process of reformulation, it takes patience, humility and, at the same time, a lot of courage to do what needs to be done. Dorival is having success and what lies ahead is promising. I have great confidence that we will once again be the competitive and victorious team that we have always been”, concluded Diego Ribas.

This past Tuesday (10), Wallim Vasconcelos, pre-candidate for the presidency of Flamengo, participated in an interview with Coluna do Fla. On the program, the former director stated that he wants to hire Diego Ribas to be his new football director. However, the priority is to have a foreigner in the position.
"No, there are no negotiations. I talk a lot with Leonardo, I'm going to ask for recommendations since he doesn't want to return to Brazil. I admire Monchi a lot, who was from Sevilla (ESP), but you wouldn't come from Brazil. My idea is to bring someone with that qualification so that in two, three years we can train someone who knows Brazilian football and Flamengo and the person can continue with this work" , he said.
"Who knows, maybe a Diego Ribas from life, who could be with this group. He already has a certain amount of knowledge. Or not, let's bring someone to stay here for a long time and help develop the Flamengo's football management. We're going to bring in someone from outside. The model we want to implement is an outside model. DOES NOT INTEND TO WORK IN CLUBS POSITIONS
