Friday marked the meeting between the President of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, with the group "advocacia rubro-negra", in the south of Rio. During the event, Landim was asked why he has not yet renewed Gabigol's contract. The president gave a long explanation in which he reaffirmed the importance of the idol, but listed situations that weighed heavily on rejecting the extension of the athlete's contract for another five seasons.
"We did a survey to check who was the greatest idol in Flamengo's history. Zico won, and Gabigol came in second. For this new generation and perhaps for people who didn't see Zico play, he is the biggest idol for me. , you're preaching to the converted (laughs). It's no use, I'm convinced of that. What's the problem? Dude, as a manager, your decision-making is based on the perspective you're going to have", said Landim.
< During the long response, Landim recalled that Gabigol first arrived on loan and later signed a contract valid for another five years. In the final phase of the renewal negotiation, the top scorer was not going through a good time and, according to the president, this was essential for him not to accept the proposed terms."We were negotiating with him, and the big The problem we ran into is that in 2023 his technical performance was much lower than in previous years and he wanted a five-year contract with Flamengo."
Rodolfo Landim, reaffirming the drop. of the striker's performance, said he understands the fans' reprimand for not renewing an idol the size of Gabigol. However, he said he was capable of facing "very great stress" for an administrator and preferring reason to emotion. Therefore, gratitude for the 27-year-old São Paulo native's goals and titles, according to Landim, are not on the agenda when negotiating.
"The problem is that it's my responsibility, and I'm going to sign a contract with five-year-old Gabigol having a much lower performance than he had in his first years at Flamengo? He's the one who does the club's accounts, he's not the one who has to pay the salary at the end of the year. I know this creates a lot of stress for the administrator, but, man, I'm sorry. on top of the gratitude I have for no one - said Landim, who was applauded by those present."
Finally, once again putting himself in the role of manager, Landim said he would have to look at the red and black cast and evaluate whether another athlete would not deserve such appreciation.
