Creative of the Ninho and champion of the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil with Flamengo last year, João Gomes recently opened a question box on his Instagram. An internet user then asked about his relationship with the former Rubro Negro player, Diego Ribas, and the young man praised the ability of the former Mais Querido number 10.
According to João, the former Rubro Negro captain has the right characteristics to be a leader. The follower of the Wolves midfielder asked if Diego Ribas was a reference for him, and he replied that the former captain is still being a leader and that he should be for all football players.
“No, he still is ! And it should be for all football players. An exceptional leader. He leads by example, mainly by the way he speaks, by his meekness. He was one of the main responsible for my growth” said João Gomes about Diego Ribas.
João Gomes also cited other leaders of the squad from his time at Rubro Negro as a reference: “…He was one of the main responsible for my growth . He (Diego Ribas), Filipe Luís, Arão, all the 'guys' always welcomed me very well.”
The current Wolverhampton (ING) midfielder was one of the pillars of Rubro Negro in 2022. He won the place of absolute starter with coach Dorival Júnior and can win the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil, being one of the team's highlights. He left at the beginning of the year and to this day Mais Querido misses his qualities on the field. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, João shines and enchants Wolves fans.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club

This past Tuesday (10), Wallim Vasconcelos, pre-candidate for the presidency of Flamengo, participated in an interview with Coluna do Fla. On the program, the former director stated that he wants to hire Diego Ribas to be his new football director. However, the priority is to have a foreigner in the position.
"No, there are no negotiations. I talk a lot with Leonardo, I'm going to ask for recommendations since he doesn't want to return to Brazil. I admire Monchi a lot, who was from Sevilla (ESP), but you wouldn't come from Brazil. My idea is to bring someone with that qualification so that in two, three years we can train someone who knows Brazilian football and Flamengo and the person can continue with this work" , he said.
"Who knows, maybe a Diego Ribas from life, who could be with this group. He already has a certain amount of knowledge. Or not, let's bring someone to stay here for a long time and help develop the Flamengo's football management. We're going to bring in someone from outside. The model we want to implement is an outside model. DOES NOT INTEND TO WORK IN CLUBS POSITIONS

After leaving the field, the idol rubro-negro denied the possibility of working directly with the sport at the moment.
"I don't think about being directly linked to football. At this moment, I want to have autonomy from my schedule. More time for myself, more time for my family. And when you connect directly with football, you lose that", he commented, before finishing:
