Gabigol celebrates Santos return with goal and win: "Really happy" | OneFootball

Gabigol made his re-debut for Santos this Saturday, in the 2-1 victory over Novorizontino, in the first round of the Campeonato Paulista. The striker scored one of Peixe’s goals and highlighted his happiness.

“A striker always expects this. The victory is more important, but when everything comes together it’s even better. Debut with a win, a goal, and my whole family here. It was a win we needed to get at home. A week of training is very exhausting. It’s very hot. We trained in two sessions. But we have to win at home no matter what. Very happy,” he told HBO Max.

Back Home

Gabigol returned to play for the Alvinegro Praiano after seven years. Signed on a one-year loan from Cruzeiro, the center forward started and scored the equalizer. The fans, who had already sung the song in his honor before kickoff, went wild with the goal.
