Star man Gabigol celebrates qualification and strong display for Santos | OneFootball

Forward Gabigol was one of those responsible for Santos’ 6-0 thrashing of Velo Clube this Sunday at Vila Belmiro, in the last round of the Campeonato Paulista. The Peixe’s number 9 scored two goals and provided an assist for Thaciano’s goal, all in the first half. 

In a press conference after the match, Gabigol celebrated the victory and his strong performance in the Santos jersey. 

“We had a very good collective game and achieved a great victory. I always try to stay on the field as much as possible, but sometimes it’s not possible. I’m very happy for the goals and the assist,” said Gabigol in an interview with TNT Sports.

With the win over Velo Clube, combined with the results from this last round, Santos will face Novorizontino in the quarterfinals. Gabigol looked ahead to the match. 

“I think the pressure will always exist here. We are at a big club, with great players. Now we have a week to recharge our batteries, fix a few things, and play a great game (against Novorizontino),” he added. 

The Paulista Football Federation will still announce the date and time of the match between Santos and Novorizontino for the Paulistão quarterfinals. Since returning to Peixe this year, Gabigol has played eight matches, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
