Cruzeiro winner calls Gabigol disgusting: “I’d fight him” | OneFootball

What did Wagner say about Gabigol?

Gabigol played only one season for Cruzeiro, but the striker did not leave good memories in Belo Horizonte. Speaking on the subject, former midfielder Wagner, a three-time Minas Gerais state champion, blasted the current Santos player and also called him disgusting.

— I’ve felt disgust since the day he arrived here. I even tried to like him, but then the game against Corinthians came around and only confirmed what I thought of him. He’s disgusting. If he were here right now, we’d end up throwing hands. He’s the kind of guy I don’t like. There’s the person and the player. I don’t like either of them, he’s very disgusting — Wagner said on the ‘7TV’ podcast.

HOW WAS GABIGOL’S SPELL AT CRUZEIRO?

Striker Gabigol joined Cruzeiro in 2025 after his contract with Flamengo was not renewed. At first, Cruzeiro fans welcomed him and put on a beautiful celebration for his arrival. However, as time went by, the story changed.

Unable to become an undisputed starter under Leonardo Jardim, Cruzeiro’s coach at the time, Gabigol scored only 13 goals and provided four assists. The final straw for the striker’s departure from the Minas Gerais club was his missed penalty in the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Corinthians at Neo Química.

IS GABIGOL STILL A CRUZEIRO PLAYER?

Yes! It is important to point out that Gabigol is on loan at Santos, but he still has a valid contract with Cruzeiro until the end of 2028. In other words, if the Vila Belmiro club does not exercise the purchase option, the player will return to Belo Horizonte at the end of the 2026 season.

DID GABIGOL PLAY FOR FLAMENGO?

Yes! Gabigol has his name written into Flamengo history. That is because, in his very first year wearing the Sacred Shirt, the striker scored the two comeback goals for Mengão against River Plate (ARG) in the 2019 Libertadores final. In addition, the player piled up titles and records with the Rubro-Negro.
