Jeez! FIGHT SEPARATES GABIGOL AND BRAZ, WHO NOW MAINTAIN ONLY A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP

Previously friends, the number 10 shirt and the club's vice director of football only talk to deal with matters related to the squad

A small demonstration by Gabigol on social networks denounced that his relationship with Flamengo's vice president of football has cooled down. Marcos Braz was responsible for his joining the team, but he recently fought with the number 10. The manager is still in favor of his staying at the club. This Monday (28th), Gabriel Barbosa liked a publication on X (former Twitter), agreeing with protests against the club's board (pictured to the side). In the message, the user pointed out that the protests being organized to sabotage the star's birthday party should, in fact, be aimed at Braz, Spindel (executive director of Flamengo) and Landim (president of Flamengo football).

Before, the striker and the runner had a good friendship. Marcos Braz was the one who did everything to include Gabriel in the cast in 2019, when he didn't attract so much attention. Since then, the player decided two Libertadores for Flamengo and lined up titles of expression.

However, it seems that the good relationship has gone sour. If they still maintained a close relationship, Gabigol would probably not want the fans to demonstrate against the director's permanence at Mengão. According to 'ge', the reason for this removal was a fight almost two months ago.

The two argued heavily in the locker room during a game. The fight took place at halftime, while Flamengo was beating Fortaleza by 2-0, at Maracanã, on July 1st.

At the time, the player sprained his ankle halfway through the first half, tried to stay on the field, but failed and ended up substituted at halftime. In Gabigol's view, the state of the lawn caused the injury. Disgusted, he entered the locker room making several complaints. When Braz arrived at the scene, Gabigol addressed his complaints, and the two exchanged curses.

As one of the team captains, Gabigol could never cut ties with the manager 100%. According to the 'ge', too, they still talk, but only about professional matters. The treatment, however, is cold, distant and formal. One of the topics covered is your contractual situation.

Although they are distant, Braz still wants Barbosa to stay at Flamengo. His contract with the team expires in December 2024, but he has already told the striker that, as long as he is in charge of red-black football, he will not sell it at all.
