The biggest idol in Flamengo's history, Zico made it clear that he will never ask for the club's legendary number 10 shirt to be retired. Although no player in the current squad is using the number, after Gabigol missed this chance, Galinho stated that he is against the idea of preserving the number forever as a form of tribute.
In an interview with the channel “Faaaala, Craque !”, on YouTube, the former player highlighted how satisfying it is for a professional athlete to wear a shirt with such a historic number. Faced with comments about the absence of a player wearing Mengão's number 10, Zico declared his opinion:
“He really doesn't have the number 10. But I will never ask to remove the number, I am against that. If you took Pelé away, for example, you wouldn't be able to play, have the satisfaction of playing. I'm not worried about that. Football is not basketball”, said Galinho.
In May, after a leaked photo in which Gabigol appears wearing the Corinthians shirt, Flamengo imposed a punishment on the attacker, which included a fine and the removal of the iconic number 10 shirt. See the statement issued by the club:
“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, after a meeting with the vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, and other directors of the department, the athlete Gabriel Barbosa was fined and informed by the director that he will no longer wear the red-black number 10 shirt in competitions where the number may be changed. ”
Gabigol “inherited” the number after the retirement of Diego Ribas, at the end of 2022. The striker wore the legendary shirt in 72 matches, being a starter in 47 of them. During this period, he scored 22 goals, provided four assists and won the 2024 Campeonato Carioca. After the incident, Gabriel started to wear the number 99 shirt at Flamengo.
