When you have the chance, you show that you can be the owner of the position”, said Zico.

“From what I saw he is doing well, training well, he is in good physical and technical condition and waiting for his chance. Now, whether he will stay or not, there are people prepared to know that. I would always like to have him on my team”, he pointed out.

Zico evaluates the history that Gabigol has already made at Flamengo

He was a guy who always understood what it was like to wear the Flamengo shirt, he always showed himself to be a great professional, but of course as a young man, sometimes there is something he likes more”, he concluded.

In addition to Gabigol, another player whose contract ends with Flamengo in December is defender David Luiz.
