Flamengo was eliminated by Olimpia (PAR) in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América. With the end of the return match, Gabigol was revolted by the performance of the arbitration and denounced “very big theft” during an interview. Remember:

“Conmebol is right next door, there are many things that happen in Libertadores and you know. Wesley misses the third goal, but now he looks like he's crying. There were many mistakes on our part, but it was a very big theft”, he vented.

In this context, Conmebol opened an investigation into the player's statement. In response, Flamengo's legal department presented a defense document for Gabigol to Conmebol this weekend. In addition, the star signed a letter of apology for having accused the entity without due evidence.

According to information from 'GE', Gabigol's letter informs the athlete that he had not said “theft” in the literal sense, as if to insinuate that Conmebol had manipulated the match. The player explained that the word is used in Brazil when one is dissatisfied with the arbitration of a dispute.

While Gabigol goes through the investigation, the Mais Querido prepares for his next appointment. Flamengo and Coritiba face each other for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The confrontation takes place this Sunday (20), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Couto Pereira Stadium.
