Flamengo President reveals dream signing and defines Gabigol in one word

Another decisive factor in Tite's assessment is Gabigol. The coach highlighted that the attacker has been dealing with recurring physical problems, which hampers his preparation and participation in games. Injuries not only prevent a player from maintaining a streak, they also affect their confidence and ability to perform at a high level. Without being 100% physically, the tendency is for the player to avoid greater efforts, which, in practice, compromises his performance.

Tite was clear in stating that caution is needed when using an athlete who is not in good health. full conditions. Forcing Gabigol's return before he is fully recovered could worsen his physical condition, further compromising his season and the team's planning. Gabigol's absence has a significant impact on the Flamengo team, both due to the technical quality he brings to the attack and his leadership on the field.

However, Tite highlighted that the athlete's health and well-being are priorities, and that forcing his presence without the appropriate conditions would be harmful not only for the player, but for the team as a whole. Even with Gabigol's absence, Flamengocontinues to look for alternatives in the squad to maintain a good performance in competitions.

The responsibility for maintaining a competitive level falls on other players, and coach Tite has used this opportunity to test new formations and strategies, aiming to minimize the impacts of the lack of one of the country's main attackers.< /p>

Coach Tite explained the absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, in the latest squads and games for Flamengo. According to the coach, the striker faces a series of physical problems that have compromised his performance on the field since his arrival at the club. Furthermore, recurring injuries and the lack of continuity at a high intensity level have been determining factors in the player not being available in important matches.

Gabigol, who has become a fundamental player at Flamengo in recent years, has been suffering from a loss of rhythm in the game and, consequently, a drop in performance. According to Tite, the attacker is not in ideal conditions to compete at the highest level, which justifies his absence from the most recent squads.

The main point raised for Tite to justify Gabigol's absence is the player's physical condition. He mentioned that the striker has not been able to maintain regularity in terms of intensity during training and matches. This directly affects the athlete's performance, who is no longer able to perform in the same way as before. For Tite, the lack of continuity at a high level of performance is one of the biggest concerns.

This scenario calls into question the ability of Gabigolin contributing effectively to the team, since Flamengo has a tight schedule, with important games both in national and international competitions. Tite was direct in pointing out that, at the moment, the player does not have the appropriate physical conditions to face this pace of play.

On Wednesday night (17), the vice-president of football at Flamengo, Marcos Braz, spoke out about the signings that Rubro-Negro are trying to make in this transfer window. The leader highlighted that the club works with financial responsibility in the search for new reinforcements.

“Electoral cowardice continues. Flamengo made an important window at the beginning of the year (Viña, De La Cruz and Léo Ortiz) and works to strengthen itself even further, always respecting the club's budget and with responsibility. The names released in the last 72 hours are not correct”, wrote the leader on the social network X, the former Twitter.

However, all negotiations are at a standstill as the clubs are asking for a high amount, even though Rubro-Negro has already reached an agreement with the athletes.

While the Mais Querido board tries to reach an agreement with the clubs to sign the aforementioned players, the red and black squad remains focused on the Brasileirão. Flamengo is in third place on the leaderboard, with 31 points.

Thus, the red and black squad continues preparing for the clash against Criciúma, next Saturday (20), for the 18th round of the Brazilian. The game will be at Mané Garricha.
