Ibson, who was once a Flamengo idol, spoke about Gabigol's return to the pitch against Amazonas
|
Ibson, a fervent supporter of Flamengo, had an emotional encounter on Wednesday (01), when he met the club of his childhood, now as an opponent. Acting as a permanent assistant for Amazonas, the former red and black number 7 was unable to hide his emotion upon returning to Maracanã.
In addition, as a member of the technical committee of the Manauara team, he celebrated the result of just 1-0 in the first game of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil and, in a joking tone, regretted the return of Gabigol a>.
— We are happy. Gabigol is a Flamengo idol, everyone knows how important he is to the club. But he could have waited a little longer, right? So as not to face us (laughs). It's always good to meet Flamengo again, to be able to see some friends, this wonderful fan base. It was a historic game, our team is only five years old. Reaching the third phase of the Copa do Brasil, playing a great game at Maracanã. Congratulations to the team — said Ibson, in an interview with journalist Fellipe Perdigão.
— (Flamengo players) came with the same purpose as they always do, to put pressure on the other team. We're a small team, they were exploring that a little bit. But Tite is a friend, we support him, so that in the next games he can win — added Ibson, when asked about the boos and insults received by the coach at Maracanã.
IBSON IS A CREATE OF FLAMENGO
On the other hand, it wasn't just Gabigol who had a reunion with the Flamengo fans. Ibson, revealed in the red and black youth categories, returned to Maracanã, now as Amazonas' technical assistant. The former number 7 has three spells at Mengão, including a Brazilian title and four Carioca Championships.

Club seeks internal solutions for attack
|
After suffering a serious injury to his left knee, Flamengo striker Pedro is out of the 2024 season and only should return to the pitch in 2025. With the absence of number 9, Flamengo's board decided not to make major investments in the transfer market and opted to look for solutions within the squad itself. The main name chosen to replace Pedro is Gabigol, the club's idol, despite being in a less prestigious phase.
Even though he is experiencing a moment of lesser protagonism, Gabigol is seen as the main option to take the place of Pedro. Pedro. With decisive goals in the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Libertadores finals, Gabigol is still a reference for the red and black attack. The curious thing is that all the goals scored by Flamengo in the last three finals of the continental tournament went to number 99, consolidating his historical importance at the club.
Despite this, the striker lost space in the current season under coach Tite's command. So far, Gabigol has started just three matches, scoring four goals and one assist. However, he appeared in 21 games, which indicates his constant presence in the coach's options.
In addition to Gabigol, Flamengo has Bruno Henrique, who has already played as a center forward, and Carlinhos, a young promise from the base, as alternatives to make up for Pedro's absence. The club's bet is not to do "financial madness", focusing on making the most of the players who are already part of the squad.
Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the field on September 12th to face Bahia, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Rubro-Negro has the advantage of the first clash, having won 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova. Now, the team only needs a draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semi-finals.
