After being decisive in Flamengo's 2-1 victory over Criciúma, Gabigol, the team's striker, expressed his frustration at the lack of opportunities in the team. "I've been coming in and looking for my space, training a lot. But I've had few opportunities. I think my last game as a starter was five, six months ago. That's very difficult," declared the player.

Gabigol made this statement after the match against Criciúma, held on the 20th. His performance was crucial for Flamengo's positive result. The striker highlighted his commitment to training and his constant search for a starting position, something that hadn't happened in months. The lack of a sequence of games as a starter has been a point of dissatisfaction for the player.

FLAMENGO HAS A TITE SETUP ON HIS RETURN

This Saturday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Gabigol will have the opportunity she so desires . He will start in the match against São Paulo, at Morumbi. This game is a chance for the striker to show his value and confirm his importance to the team.

Gabigol is one of the main names in Flamengo's squad. His ability to decide important games has already been demonstrated several times. However, the lack of sequence as a starter could impact his performance and pace of play. The match against São Paulo is an opportunity for him to regain his confidence and show his potential.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
