Gabigol was nullified! His difference from Pedro is brutal

Mauro Cesar Pereira criticized ball possession Gabigol’s performance in Flamengo’s 2-0 win over Bolivar in the Libertadores. The striker replaced Pedro, who left with a thigh muscle injury, and produced little on the pitch.

“Gabigol was an empty figure for Flamengo”:Gabriel was an empty caricature. Oh, I want a minute. 51 minutes, okay, big man? Big game, Maracana, Libertadores, opponent loses 1-0, Pedro leaves and you come on. What happens? Nothing! Nothing, nothing is the power of expression. He receives the ball on the left, De la Cruz is free, enters the middle of the Bolívar defense, doesn’t pass the ball, drags it to the baseline and the play ends there, nothing else happens. No dangerous plays, no dangerous finals, nothing.

“Gabigol had to solve the problem, but he didn’t catch the ball”: “Carlinhos, with all his limitations, will turn, the ball will escape, he will take a leg, he will try there, but he is a player from Nova Iguaçu, he is not a player at the level of Gabriel, who earns more or less 25 times more than Carlinhos. “He wins, he is the one who has to solve it. If he does not have the ability, it is not the coach’s fault. If he does not wear it, it would be cowardice because he is the one who has to solve it. He is very well paid, he says himself that he is an idol, so he goes there and solves the problem, he does not touch the ball – 15 movements with the ball in 51 minutes, and nothing happens. He almost scored a header from Ayrton Lucas, he headed it and the goalkeeper saved it with his knee.”
