With no games until the beginning of November, Flamengo's management is experiencing tense days due to an off-field issue. The news about the proximity of the renewal of the contract with striker Gabigol until the end of 2028 generated an almost unanimous wave against the decision among advisors and board members.

The negotiation has been carried out for more than a year by the football command, led by Marcos Braz, who left an agreement for the player to extend the contract that expires at the end of 2024 and exchange for another that would start this year and last another five seasons.

The move was considered premature and took on the air of dispute policy after the demonstration of a group with components from the situation and the opposition, FlaFut. Before that, however, there was already a lot of resistance to the decision from members of the Board of Directors and the Deliberative Council.

Even president Rodolfo Landim, who has closely followed the day-to-day activities of football recently, is not convinced of the renewal of this time. People close to the agent understand that the extension of the contract should only happen next year. Gabi would not be free until June.

Those who are in favor of preventive movement, on the other hand, argue that if Flamengo waits until 2024, they run the risk of paying more to keep Gabigol. The point is that, in the view of those who are against it, the striker is not in high demand on the market, and the club has not received any proposal.


The aggravating factor is the bad phase of the number 10, who does not score a goal. goal from a ball rolling three months ago. Not to mention Pedro's current reserve status. Since the beginning of 2023, when he assumed the position not only of an idol, but of leadership, Gabigol has fallen in production on the field, with Vítor Pereira and Sampaoli.


Tite's arrival has not changed the panorama and until now There were also no major signs of an improvement in performance. Even so, the football board put the player's renewal on the agenda, along with that of other athletes at the end of their contracts, especially Everton Ribeiro and Bruno Henrique.

There is the most recent argument that what happened with Bruno it could happen again if Flamengo waits to renew with Gabigol. Seeing a direct competitor like Palmeiras harass the player, as happened with the sprinter. The auction would make Flamengo spend more, as happened with BH.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.

This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.


THE CLUB HAS ANOTHER LOSS 

The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.

Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.

A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>

However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.

The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.
