Gabigol hails Santos draw with Mirassol, opens up about the national team | OneFootball

Santos drew 2-2 with Mirassol on Tuesday at Campos Maia, in the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. Scorer of both goals for Peixe, Gabigol valued the point earned away from home.

“Happy for the goals. We always come with the intention to win, but I think the draw was good for us, the way it happened. I congratulate the whole team and thank the fans for their support. Now we have a very important derby,” he said to Amazon Prime Video.

The forward also spoke about Carlo Ancelotti's presence at the stadium. The number 9 made it clear that he is still “finding himself after a difficult year” and invited the Brazilian National Team coach to watch Neymar on Sunday, against Corinthians, at Vila Belmiro.

“I prefer to think naturally, not under pressure. In 2022 maybe I deserved to go to the World Cup, but it didn't happen. I always try to work, score goals to help the team and give my best. At this moment I'm finding myself after a difficult year at Cruzeiro, but with a lot of learning. I've been scoring goals and helping. I hope to improve, it's just the beginning. I hope Ancelotti will come to see Neymar on Sunday,” he concluded.

Standings Situation

With the result, Santos is currently in 11th place, with five points. However, the club can still lose positions by the end of the round.
