Even though he is considered an idol at Flamengo, Gabigol has gone through ups and downs at the club and is currently in the reserve position. In the team's last two games, the striker was not selected as a starter, and this represents the longest sequence of matches in which he has not started a game since he was signed by the club.

Gabigol arrived at Flamengo in 2019 and, since then, he had never faced the situation of starting two consecutive matches on the bench. This statistic could increase, depending on the lineup in the next clash against Corinthians. In terms of goals, Gabigol is also facing his worst performance for the club, there have only been 20 so far.

Competition for positions and the coach's tactical variations could lead to this situation, but the player's quality suggests he will continue to be an important part of Flamengo's squad , regardless of their position as starter or reserve. Even in reserve, the athlete continues to be a leader with his teammates and encourages the athletes.

Gabigol played a total of 250 matches with the Flamengo shirt, and in 19 of them, he started on the bench. This represents approximately 7.6% of the games he participated in.

Flamengo returns to the pitch next Saturday (07), when they face Corinthians, in match valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. At the Neo Química Arena, Rubro-Negro will be looking for three more points in the national competition and, for this, they will have at their disposal Bruno Henrique and Gabigol, a pair of attackers considered tormentors of the São Paulo team.

Gabigol continues to be an important figure behind the scenes at Flamengo, despite not being on good terms with coach Tite. With 26 matches in the 2024 season, only three as a starter, and four goals scored, the number 99 has only three months left on his contract with the club, which already allows him to sign a pre-contract with another team.

In June, the player received an offer to renew his contract for another year, but he refused. Flamengo's president, Rodolfo Landim, revealed that the offer is still available, highlighting that confidence in Gabigol's recovery is the reason behind this proposal. “When we make a proposal, we analyze the entire context. We believe in Gabriel’s potential and that’s why we offered him a renewal for another year”, explained Landim in an interview with TNT Sports, stating that he still maintains the offer to the player. 

RENEWAL AND POSSIBILITY OF PRE-CONTRACT

The attacker's situation is delicate. With less than six months left on his contract, Gabigol is free to negotiate with other clubs. However, Flamengo showed interest in keeping him, as they have done with other important players in the past, such as Filipe Luís and Bruno Henrique.

According to Landim, the club is not willing to offer a long contract in the past. current performance conditions of the player. “With the performance of 2023 and part of 2024, it is difficult to make a four-year proposal at the requested values”, stated the president, reinforcing that the one-year renewal proposal remains available and that it now depends on the player’s own decision.< /p>



TITE AND MERITOCRACY IN FLAMENGO

The president also addressed the reasons why Gabigol has not been a choice frequent in the starting lineup. According to Landim, the word "bet" used to describe the renewal proposal may have been strong, but it is justified by the attacker's performance in training. Coach Tite, known for his meritocracy, has opted for Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos due to their better performance in activities and games.

“Tite is a meritocrat par excellence. He chooses who is best in training and games to choose. This transparent process is one of the reasons why he is so respected by the team", concluded Landim.
