Gabigol made history at Flamengo and won countless titles, playing a leading role in finals and victorious campaigns. As a result, Marcos Braz, the former red-and-black club executive, praised the center forward and mentioned that the player still has time to get his career back to a high level.

— Everyone knows how important Gabigol was to that Flamengo group. He scored goals in three Copa Libertadores finals, and we won two of them. He is one of the greats in football history —, Marcos Braz began in an interview with Lance!

— You don’t forget how to play football. Other great players have also had problems in their careers for long stretches. When Gabigol wasn’t doing well, he scored two goals against Atlético-MG in a Copa do Brasil final. There is still time for him to get his career back on track. He didn’t suffer a serious injury. He just needs to come back. It’s good for football when a player like him succeeds —, he concluded.
