During his time with Rubro-Negro, Gabigol was decisive in important moments, such as the two goals that secured the 2019 Libertadores title against River Plate, as well as the goal that secured the continental title in 2022, against Athletico-PR. However, his performance has declined in recent seasons, marked by injuries, off-field controversies and a drop in technical performance.
Gabigol has been wearing the blue jersey since January. Expectations were high, but the start was disappointing. With performances below expectations, the striker ended up on the bench. Pressure grew, both from the fans and the Minas Gerais press, who began to question his signing and usefulness in Cruzeiro's current squad.
According to the No Ataque website, the scenario may change in the coming days. Coach Leonardo Jardim is considering bringing Gabigol back to the starting lineup, with the expectation of using the striker in the match against Palestino, from Chile, this Thursday (24), in the third round of the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The game will be decisive. The team from Minas Gerais has yet to score in the Copa Sudamericana and is bottom of the group, with two losses in two games . The presence of an experienced player who is used to big games could be Jardim's bet to try to recover in the tournament.
Despite his slow adaptation, sources close to the club indicate that the striker has maintained a professional attitude behind the scenes. His desire to rediscover his good football skills is evident, and returning to the starting lineup could be the chance he needs to show that he is still capable of making decisions. Gabigol 's name still divides opinions among Cruzeiro fans. Some of the fans believe in his potential, especially given his winning history in Brazilian football. Others, however, are impatient with his lackluster performances and expect more dedication and commitment on the field.
The Gaucho team is fighting to escape the relegation zone, while Mais Querido is looking to extend its lead at the top of the championship after 28 years without winning at the stadium.

Flamengo faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . The leader of the competition arrives in Caxias do Sul to maintain the top of the table, while the rival from Rio Grande do Sul tries to add points to leave the relegation zone.
Juventude 's idol and technical reference, 44-year-old midfielder Nenê, made a point of highlighting the challenge of facing the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved ). For him, the match demands maximum attention from the entire Alviverde squad.
" It's one of the toughest games we've had this year. Motivation increases, focus increases. We have to be focused the whole time. This is a game decided by the details. If we slip up against high-quality players, they can decide the outcome at any moment," the athlete stated.
In the first round, the Red-Blacks thrashed their opponents 6-0, their biggest victory in the match . Even so, there's a taboo to be broken: Mengão hasn't won at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium since 1997. For Nenê, overcoming the Rio attack requires a well-executed tactical plan, with low and compact lines.
" Tactically, we need to be perfect. Stay close together, as a block . And when we have the ball, show our personality, press hard, and keep the ball away from our goal to try to score," he added.
Flamengo has 47 points and leads the Brasileirão, three ahead of second-place Cruzeiro. A victory in Caxias do Sul will ensure they maintain their lead in the standings and keep their goal of winning the national title alive.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council will hold a hybrid meeting in Gávea next Wednesday (17) to discuss the progress of the project for its own stadium . The meeting, which begins at 6:30 pm, will allow both in-person and virtual participation, and should update council members on the technical studies on the Gasômetro site and the new agreement signed with Rio City Hall.
President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, will present detailed information on the land feasibility study, which is considered essential for determining the project's next steps. Additionally, council members will be able to learn more about the terms of the agreement signed with the City Hall and ask questions directly to the board.
In August, Bap met with Mayor Eduardo Paes to discuss the stadium. At the time, the land tenure agreement for the Gasômetro stadium was signed, ensuring that the Mais Querido club will remain committed to making construction possible . The agreement also extended important deadlines for the project's completion, giving the board more breathing room to make necessary adjustments.
The postponement was confirmed by Bap himself in an interview with the club's official channel. According to him, the requirements contained in the City Hall's public notice made it difficult to accelerate the schedule. Despite the obstacles, the director reinforced that the stadium dream remains firm and financially sustainable for Flamengo.
" There were a series of conditions imposed in the tender for the project to move forward . When evaluating these preconditions, we realized that these steps would not be simple, quick, or easy to fulfill. Therefore, it would not be feasible to open this stadium in 2029," stated the Flamengo president.
