“Once Flamengo, Flamengo till I die”: Gabigol replies to club post | OneFootball

Gabigol turns 30 this Sunday (30)

Gabigol stirred up social media again this Sunday (30), precisely on the day he turns 30. Now at Santos, the forward commented on a Flamengo post and left a message that quickly caught the attention of the club’s red-and-black supporters.

WHAT DID GABIGOL WRITE?

Flamengo used social media to wish Gabigol a happy birthday. In the post, the club recalled the forward’s remarkable spell at Gávea and wished him well. In the comments, however, Gabriel made a point of replying to Mengão with a statement that reinforces his bond with the club. The striker wrote: “Once Flamengo, Flamengo until I die.”

The phrase, traditional among Rubro-Negro supporters, quickly gained traction. After all, even though he currently plays for Santos, Gabigol does not hide the connection he built with Flamengo over the years.

WHAT DID FLAMENGO WRITE?

“Today is the day to wish a happy birthday to one of the greatest forwards ever to wear Mengão’s Sacred Jersey. Gabriel B., Gabi, Gabigol, Gabriel, the Galactic Warrior. Call him whatever you want. Destined to win, win, win. And he did! Two-time Libertadores champion, two-time Brazilian champion, two-time Copa do Brasil champion, two-time Supercopa do Brasil champion, four-time Carioca champion, Recopa champion. 308 matches and 161 goals. Happy birthday, Gabi! Long live you, and Red-and-Black greetings, today and always!”

WHAT WAS GABIGOL’S STORY AT FLAMENGO?

Gabigol arrived at Flamengo in 2019 and quickly became one of the leading names in the club’s recent history. In his very first season, the forward played a starring role in winning the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship.

In addition, the No. 9 scored twice in the historic Libertadores final against River Plate (ARG) in Lima, and definitively wrote his name into Flamengo history. Over the course of his time at the club, Gabigol won several titles and built a strong bond with the fans. That is why, even after leaving Rubro-Negro, the striker continues to be remembered fondly by Flamengo supporters.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Gabigol does not hide his great relationship with Flamengo. Recently, he said he still supports the club, even though he is under contract with Cruzeiro and on loan at Santos. Happy birthday to Gabi, lots of health, but may he not be successful against Rubro-Negro — said Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
