After having a photo leaked wearing a Corinthians shirt and becoming aware of the negative repercussions, the attacker gave an interview to recant and apologize for what happened. André Hernan, the journalist responsible for the article, told the behind-the-scenes chat with the player.

— I've known Gabigol since he was at Santos, working his way up to the professional ranks. I've interviewed him several times, but for the first time, I felt he was cornered, dejected. He was a different Gabigol from the hard-working Gabigol, from the player who is a champion, who has personality. He maintained his personality. He spoke and spoke firmly, but I felt that he was a little down and wanted to open his heart and, in fact, apologize to the fans – declared André Hernan, on the program 'Arena SBT'.


Gabigol conceded interview with the journalist last Sunday (19). If at first the attacker denied having worn a Corinthians shirt at a party, now the player has confirmed that he did so. In this way, the athlete apologized to the red and black fans and stressed that he wants to continue writing history with the Sacred Mantle.

This is because, at the hotel door, Flamengo's now number 99 shirt was applauded by the Red and Blacks present and, with that, the attacker reciprocated the affection by passing through the guardrail, taking photos and distributing autographs to the fans.
