There are a lot of people who talk a lot of m… I think you people in the press create some things and the fans come to Maracanã with a bit of bad intentions towards the players. This has never happened here at the club, since the days of Diego, Arão“, he said. Gabigol continued with his outburst after Flamengo’s victory over Fluminense in the Copa do Brasil and continued with his speech about the crisis.

“We have problems with people in the press. You create things in the fan’s head, create things inside the club, you in the press try to put it. Flamengo is our love. Flamengo is not Big Brother, with a camera, little gossip. It is It’s a great team, it’s the biggest in Brazil, with football players chasing their own dream and that of the club”, followed. To complete, Gabigol still defended the work of Jorge Sampaoli and assured that Flamengo supports the coach even with the bad moment.
“The results were happening, but it’s not like bread, which goes in the dough and comes out ready. Sampaoli has the DNA of Flamengo, the style of Flamengo, it looks like it’s been here for years. Abel has been there for three years, Diniz for one year, you can see their performance. It’s not because they lost that Diniz has to leave. Of course, there has to be charges, but fair charges. Not that there is a quarrel“, he completed.
