The relationship between the fans of Flamengo and Gabigolremains strong even after the announcement that the striker will leave the club at the end of his contract. Last Wednesday, during the confrontation between the most beloved and Atlético-MG at Maracanã, fans showed their support for the player with flags and messages of affection. One of the banners displayed said "Fechado com Gabigol", symbolizing the fans' unconditional support.

After confirming his departure in an interview, on the lawn of Arena MRV, after the decision of Brazilian Cup, Gabigol was removed by the board and was not part of the squad for the game against Atlético-MG. The player even announced on his social networks that he would watch the match in the northern sector, traditionally occupied by red and black fans. However, he ended up watching the game from a box, without going up to the stands.

TRIBUTES FROM THE RUBRO-NEGRA FANS

In addition to the flag in direct support of the player, another banner with the narration of the iconic 2019 Libertadores title goal, scored by Gabigol against River Plate, was displayed in the north sector. The tributes demonstrate the deep identification between the attacker and the fans, who stood by his side even in a moment of transition.

PLANNING FOR A RESPECTFUL FAREWELL

Gabigol's future is not yet completely defined. Planning for a formal farewell began to be discussed, with conversations between Junior Pedroso and Marcos Braz. The parties agreed to hold a face-to-face meeting to evaluate the next steps and decide whether the attacker will still play for Mengão before his permanent departure.

Gabigol, a fundamental player in historic achievements such as the 2019 Copa Libertadores, built a remarkable trajectory with the CRF. The club is looking for an agreement so that the athlete can at least have a dignified farewell.
