The match between Flamengo and Fluminense ended in a 1-1 draw last Saturday (11). During the confrontation, Gabigol had a disagreement with Nino, the rival's defender. Therefore, both received a red card. The striker's expulsion ended up becoming a topic in Europe and so did his bad phase.

The Spanish newspaper "AS" echoed Gabigol's expulsion, stating that Mais Querido's number 10 is not going through the best phase and, in addition, questioned the rumor of return to Europe. Also according to the newspaper, the striker must forget the controversies to help the team.

“Flamengo is not experiencing its best season, as is Gabriel Barbosa, better known as Gabigol. The 27-year-old striker was sent off in stoppage time of the match against Fluminense for making a tackle and subsequently confronting Nino, who was also sent to the dressing room by the referee”, he began.

“Although the expulsion is a So rigorous, it is not the first time that the player has been involved in this type of action. Gabigol must see the goal again and forget the controversy to help his team in the final stretch of the season in the fight for the top positions in the Brasileirão and maintain the supposed interest of the English club”, he added.

RUMORS OF A RETURN TO EUROPE

In recent weeks, the English newspaper The Mirror published that Manchester United (ING) was looking for a new striker to reinforce the squad. As a result, Gabigol's name was mentioned in the team from the northwest of England to fill the position.


To count on Gávea's number 10, the "Red Devil" would be willing to offer Antony on loan . Furthermore, according to the newspaper, Milan (ITA) would also be interested in the Mais Querido player. However, Rubro Negro's football vice-president, Marcos Braz, denied the rumors.

BAD PHASE AND GOAL FASTING

Forward Gabigol has been experiencing his worst phase with the Mantle of Flamengo. This is because the player has had a goal drought. Rubro Negro's number 10 has not been in the net for 12 games. The last time he scored a goal was on August 20th, against Coritiba. Furthermore, the player has been quite undisciplined on the field and has received silly cards.

NEXT CONFRONTATION AND SUSPENSION

After receiving the red card, Gabigol will have to serve an automatic suspension in the next Rubro Negro confrontation. Therefore, the player will not be available to Tite in the match against Red Bull Bragantino, on November 23rd, at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, in a match postponed for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.
