Gabigol vents about criticism of his weight at Flamengo

Gabigolof Flamengo, countered the criticism regarding his physical form. The now greatest Brazilian scorer in the history of liberators ironized the amount of negative adjectives he has received about his physical preparation. According to the attacker, at home, he has been the target of many praise and said that perhaps people are jealous of him.

The statement came during his press conference, after the tie between Fla and racing. The ace did not hide from the question and insisted on saying that people close to him say that he is “tasty”. The attacker did not fail to mock the criticism he has received about his physical form and highlighted that part of it is a “travel” of people.

I only receive compliments at home, that I am very tasty. People take a trip, honestly I don’t see it (poor physical shape). But when something comes up, I think they go a little overboard. I think it’s envy too“, he stated.

In addition, he spoke about the season he has been playing and the number of goals that have decreased at the beginning of 2023. Gabigol also completed the criticism of his appearance and stressed that: “I know people always want to see me score goals, but I’ve played an important role in creating the plays. They talk about the hair, the staff gives a mad trip. I have no superstition, I’ve had blonde hair, pink hair, dreadlocks, bald hair…“.

Gabigol also did not hide his happiness in reaching 30 goals in the Libertadores and becoming the greatest Brazilian scorer in the history of the competition. The Flamengo star recognized the difficulty of reaching the number, but he doesn’t want to stop there. The idea is to reach Alberto Spencer, who has 54 goals in the most desired tournament in South America.

Happy. It really is amazing. I thank all Flamengo staff, all the players, because without them it would not be possible. I hope to increase the brand and be champion, because that’s what matters“, finished.
