Gabigol, one of the greatest idols in the recent history of Flamengo, never had problems of indiscipline with the coaches who passed through the club, as revealed by Eric Faria's comment. Over the last few years, the player has interacted with several coaches, including names like Jorge Jesus, Domenèc Torrent, Rogério Ceni, Renato Gaúcho and others. The relationship with all these professionals was never marked by disagreements or off-field problems. On the contrary, Gabigol remained at the center of tactical and game strategies, being a key player in the teams trained by these coaches, with the exception of some specific situations.

According to Eric Faria's report, the main conflicts of Gabigoldid not happen with the coaches, but with the board from Flamengo. These tensions arose especially in relation to the club's internal management, including financial and contractual issues. Gabigol, as one of the biggest stars in Brazilian football, has always been at the center of negotiations and discussions about his appreciation within the squad. His demand for greater recognition and better contractual conditions is a reflection of the natural ambition of a player who has stood out on the field. However, these demands ended up generating an environment of friction with the club's management, which, at times, did not live up to their expectations.

A STRONG BEHIND THE SCENES REPORT

Since his arrival at Flamengo, Gabigol has been involved in moments of great prominence. He was instrumental in winning the 2019 Copa Libertadores and the 2019 and 2020 Brazilian Championship. The striker quickly became the team's main name and the fans' biggest idol. However, his star status and expectations created additional pressure on his relationship with the board: "Ten coaches have passed through Flamengo this cycle. Nine had no problem with Gabigol. Gabigol's problems have always been with the board. No coach removed him due to indiscipline." - said Eric Faria

The player, on some occasions, was dissatisfied with the way his career was managed internally, especially with regard to the renewal of your contract and treatment by management. Despite this, there was never any record of public conflicts with the coaches, who always considered him one of the best players on the team. Despite his undeniable talent and Gabigol's importance to the team, Flamengo's management has shown difficulties in dealing with some of the striker's demands. These divergences became more evident in situations where the club's administration did not respond to the player's requests, generating dissatisfaction.

UM GABIGOL'S MELANCHOLIC END

Gabigol's relationship with Flamengo is complex and involves much more than technical issues. Eric Faria's vision reinforces the idea that the striker never had problems with the coaches who passed through the club, and was always valued in game strategies. On the other hand, friction with the Flamengo board has been the main point of contention, especially in relation to the contract and the recognition of its importance.

Leandro manda recado para elenco do Flamengo na Libertadores: "vocês vão vencer"

Leandro pediu que os jogadores pensem nos torcedores e nas famílias que acompanham o time, reforçando que garra, disposição e concentração serão fundamentais na decisão. Ao final, tomou pela emoção ao afirmar que acredita na conquista do título.

“Tenho muito orgulho do que vocês fizeram, fazem e vão continuar fazendo. Pensem na torcida, nos seus amigos, na sua família e em vocês mesmos. Muita garra, disposição, concentração e empenho, porque muita gente depende de vocês. A alegria dessa Nação”, disse, antes de se emocionar:

“Que ninguém se machuque, que seja um bom jogo. Vamos ganhar! Muita sorte, muita força. Para frente, Flamengo! Mengão até morrer! Vocês vão fazer um grande jogo, vão arrebentar, vocês vão vencer. Vamos com tudo.”

ÍDOLO ETERNO DO MENGÃO

Leandro fez toda a carreira pelo Flamengo e disputou 414 partidas com o Manto Sagrado. Considerado por muitos o melhor lateral da história do futebol brasileiro, fez parte da geração mais vitoriosa do clube, campeã da Libertadores e do Mundial de 1981, além de quatro Brasileiros, uma Copa do Brasil e cinco Cariocas.

FLAMENGO FECHA PREPARAÇÃO PARA A DECISÃO

O Flamengo conclui nesta sexta-feira (28), às 12h30 (de Brasília), no CT da seleção peruana, o último treino antes da final. Filipe Luís deve aproveitar a atividade para ajustar os detalhes e encaminhar a escalação que enfrenta o Palmeiras.

A principal dúvida segue na defesa: Léo Ortiz ainda tem chances de começar entre os titulares. No ataque, a disputa permanece aberta, com Carrascal, Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha e Samuel Lino brigando por duas vagas ao lado de Bruno Henrique. A possível escalação do Flamengo para a final é: Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira e Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho e Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Cebolinha e Bruno Henrique.
