JOURNALIST THINKS IT'S CRAZY FOR LANDIM TO RENEW WITH GABIGOL AND SAYS: "HE'S THE RISK OF LOSING FLAMENGO"

Striker is suspended from football for 2 years

01 Abr 2024 | 14:39 |

The columnist Mauro Cezar Pereira highlighted in UOL's Posse de Bola that it is not only Flamengo that could lose Gabigol, but also Gabigol losing Flamengo. In Mauro's opinion, this is not the time to discuss contract renewal, especially with the striker suspended until 2025.

See the journalist's statements:

'There's a risk that Gabriel will lose Flamengo too': "A lot of people say: 'Ah, he's going to leave Gabigol on the track'. How is he going to renew a contract with a guy who's been suspended, who hasn't played well for a long time and who in the negotiation that they started doing last year in a mistaken way, the Football Department, even blocked Landim, not because of him alone, but because of the pressure he suffered within the club, he wanted a raise and everything. Which justifies a salary increase and a long contract for Gabriel, especially now that he is suspended? Technically, it doesn't justify it, and him being suspended doesn't justify it either. Oh, there's the risk of losing an idol. And there's the risk too of him losing Flamengo. That's what people have to think - there's a risk of Gabriel losing Flamengo. Going to another club and becoming a secondary player."

'Talking about Gabriel's renewal today is senseless madness':

"If he goes to Corinthians or whoever else, he's going to have to work hard, show a lot of football, do many goals, to be respected and loved by the fans. What he isn't able to do even at Flamengo, so why doesn't he try to do that now? He hadn't been doing it, until this year he was trying hard, but it wasn't happening and now it's suspended until he prove otherwise due to a completely foolish attitude. All of this is unnecessary. The club is even being very elegant with him, they are defending him, they are appealing. You don't see anyone from the club attacking the player publicly, behind the scenes the guys can be very upset with him, and there's no shortage of reasons why he's missing out on the team. Today, the correct thing to do, if he is actually suspended and is unable to change this scenario, is for him to remain on the back burner, the law allows Flamengo to suspend his wages and renew his contract for a period of inactivity. So, if he completes the suspension until April, he could have his contract automatically renewed until January 2026. Talking about Gabriel's renewal today is crazy, it makes no sense"

'What would Gabigol be without Gabriel? Flamengo?'

"It's not a question of what Landim thinks, but what he has to do, it's not his money, it's the club's, simple as that. There is no point in renewing the guy's contract under these conditions today. It is also important to think about the other side, the importance of Gabriel for Flamengo and the importance of Flamengo for Gabriel. What would Gabigol be without Flamengo? What was he before Flamengo? A player who made it in Europe and didn't stay, a great promise for Santos before that, played for two unremarkable European teams, barely played, and at Flamengo he was transformed. So, what will Gabriel be like outside of Flamengo, especially Gabriel from last year? It wasn't a bad phase, it was a very bad season, including some very unfortunate statements that he made. In this aspect, Landim is right."

Enquanto o Atlético-MG concentra as atenções na decisão contra o Lanús, pela competição continental, o clube mineiro também avança nos bastidores com o planejamento da próxima temporada. Um dos nomes em pauta é o de Bruno Henrique, atualmente reserva no Flamengo e com contrato em fase final. A possibilidade de um acordo ganhou força após aval técnico de Jorge Sampaoli.

De acordo com informações de bastidores, Sampaoli vê no atacante o perfil ideal para o estilo de jogo ofensivo que pretende implementar no Galo. O treinador destacou atributos como velocidade, força física e presença em grandes decisões, fatores que colocam Bruno Henrique entre as prioridades do departamento de futebol para 2026.

A diretoria atleticana enxerga o momento como uma oportunidade de mercado, já que o jogador vive indefinição sobre sua permanência no Flamengo. O fato de ter marcado dois gols recentes no Brasileirão reacendeu o interesse do Galo e aumentou o otimismo em Belo Horizonte.

EXPERIÊNCIA E DESEMPENHO

Mesmo aos 34 anos, Bruno Henrique segue demonstrando potência, boa leitura ofensiva e capacidade de decidir partidas. Internamente, o nome agrada por reunir experiência em jogos decisivos e perfil competitivo, características que o Atlético-MG considera essenciais para fortalecer o elenco que buscará títulos na próxima temporada.

PARCERIA COM DUDU E HULK

O Galo já definiu que o ataque de 2026 será montado em torno de um sistema versátil e físico. A diretoria acredita que Bruno Henrique pode formar uma dupla de destaque com Dudu, ou até mesmo dividir protagonismo com Hulk, que vive momento de incerteza sobre sua titularidade. Essa possibilidade anima os bastidores da Cidade do Galo.
