The contract between Flamengo and Gabigol ends on December 31, and the parties did not reach an agreement for renewal. The greatest idol in red and black history, Zico criticized the way in which the situation involving the extension of the number 99's contract was handled by the club.



I think it was all handled poorly. An idol like him shouldn't happen like that. Things started to get very hazy and annoying situations happened, which were separate from the football player, from the side of the field. Of course, I understand that Flamengo was worried about the suspension thing, whether he would return, whether he would be acquitted or not. I think everything in between couldn't be resolved. They didn't trust the situation to solve the problem for him. They pushed and stuff, and what happened”, said Zico this Friday (27), on the program ‘Redação SporTV’.


— < i>Especially as his fan and friend, a guy I really like, I'm upset by the way everything happened. Because all players, especially those who reach a certain level, need to have continuity. It could be whoever it is, putting in the final 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and it won't help. The guy is used to playing all the time, getting the hang of the game and so on. And Filipe Luís understood this and did it. Of course, he will give the answer. You'll see that the coach is confident -, completed
