Idol and number 10 at Flamengo, Gabigol has been going through his worst phase with Manto Sagrado. Without scoring since August, the striker became a substitute and has played just a few minutes per game. Specialist in the position, the former Rubro Negro striker, Romário, gave his opinion on Gabriel's phase.


In an interview with the newspaper "O Globo", Romário pointed out that Gabigol's positioning could be the decisive factor for his low performance at Rubro Negro, World Cup Champion and best player in the world in 1994, Baixinho stated that the Mais Querido striker is "going wrong".


“Gabriel in the last two years has played a lot out of position in the which he established as one of the idols in Flamengo's history. If he doesn't go back to playing like he used to, especially now that time passes and he's older, he'll continue to get screwed. Either he goes back to being that guy in the box to score the goal or he's going to go wrong there, unfortunately”, said Romário.


Gabigol has only scored one goal in the last 15 games and is now competing for position with Pedro in the starting lineup. The number 9 is also going through a bad time at Rubro Negro. Idols of the Nation, the  duo that won the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil in 2022 seems to have no space with Tite. Because since the coach arrived he has not used the players.

Romário also stated that Gabigol, in the role he has played in recent months, would not be a starter at any club. For the former Flamengo striker, the number 10 is playing wrong, and should rethink his positioning at Mais Querido.


“I don't know if it's posture. Of course, if he, in his understanding, feels good playing where he is playing, which is absolutely not the case, it is his right. Now, if I were him I would think again. If I was what I was, won what I won, scored the goals I scored playing in a position and I'm playing wrong, I'll go back to play”

“And in that position I'm telling you he played, he could even be a starter. In the one he is playing he will not be a starter anywhere, not even at Flamengo. He's playing wrong”, said Romário in an interview with the newspaper "O Globo" this Monday (30).

Flamengo is close to confirming another international signing. Striker Michael Johnston, 26, should be officially announced as the club's new player in the coming days. The Irish athlete will arrive in Rio de Janeiro next Tuesday (8), coming from London, to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract with the Rio de Janeiro club. The information was released by journalist Cahê Mota, from the ge portal.


Having played for clubs in Scotland, Portugal and England, Johnston came through Celtic's youth ranks and made his professional debut in 2017. His peak for the Scottish club came in 2019, when he scored in the UEFA Europa League against Stade Rennais. Despite his potential, a series of injuries and intense competition within the squad have limited his prospects at Celtic.


In 2022, he was loaned to Vitória de Guimarães, from Portugal, and, at the beginning of 2024, he went to West Bromwich , from the English second division. His time in the Championship was positive, registering three goals and five assists, which aroused the interest of Mais Querido. The value of the negotiation is around R$ 37 million.


FEATURED IN ENGLAND

His good performances in English football earned Michael Johnston a call-up to the Ireland national team, for which he made his debut in March 2023. His first goal in an Irish shirt was scored a few months later, in a match against Gibraltar.


PLAYER HAS GOOD QUALITIES

The player plays as a second striker and is praised for his mobility on the field and good reading of the game . Now, he arrives at Flamengo as a bet to reinforce the offensive system in the final stretch of the season and increase competitiveness in the squad.

Flamengo x Fluminense (20/07) – Classic for the Brazilian Championship


Flamengo x Atlético-MG (27/07) – Key game in the fight for the top of the table

Flamengo x Atlético-MG (31/07) – Confrontation for the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup

Flamengo x Internacional (13/08) – Direct duel for a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores

FLAMENGO HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS

According to the club, the first to have access to the purchase are members of the higher plans . The system will follow the staggered pattern already used in previous matches, respecting the category and the order of priority defined in the membership contract.   Flamengo reinforces that the purchase can be made online, through the club's official website and through the partner sales platform, with the possibility of payment by card or Pix.

With the team still alive in the three main fronts of the season, the expectation is that Maracanã will receive an audience of over 60 thousand fans in each of the matches. In particular, the classic with Fluminense and the game against Internacional, for the Libertadores, should concentrate the biggest demand.
