Flamengo drew 1-1 with Vasco last Sunday (15), in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. A reserve during the game, Gabigol only entered the field in the last seven minutes. Thus, the number 99 became Tite's third option, even with Pedro's absence.
In the final months of his contract with Flamengo, Gabigol saw Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos gain priority in Tite's attacking choices. After Pedro's serious injury, it was expected that the number 99 would have more chances on the field.
However, against Vasco, Bruno Henrique was chosen to be the starter. Subsequently, Tite replaced number 27 with Carlinhos in the second half. Gabigol, in turn, was only activated in the final minutes of the match, playing just seven minutes.
Gabigol x Carlinhos in Tite's opinionDuring the press conference, Tite was questioned by journalists about the choice of Carlinhos instead of Gabigol against Vasco. The coach justified his decision, highlighting that the number 22 was decisive in important moments of the 2024 season.
“Training. Games. Specifically. Carlinhos was decisive against Bolívar (BOL), against Atlético-MG, with a goal, decisive against Vitória. That was why this option was made (instead of Gabigol). Added to this, Bruno Henrique was decisive against Bahia with a goal and an assist. We scored the goal with Carlinhos on the field. And Carlinhos' performance in the other games, that's what led me to decide”, declared the coach.
Final stretch of contractIt's important to remember that Gabigol may be living his last moments as a Flamengo player, as his contract with the club runs until December this year, and the expectation is that he will not there is renewal.
Despite this, Marcos Braz highlighted that the proposal is in the hands of Gabigol, who knows he can continue helping Flamengo if you accept the current terms. Rubro-Negro offered a 50% salary increase, but the new contract would only last one more year. This point has been a reason for disagreement, as the player felt devalued by the offer.
