Gabigol's sponsor, Mizuno, has prepared a special boot for the game between Flamengo and Cruzeiro. On the accessory, there is a heart divided with red and blue colors. Thus, the image signifies the striker's respect for Mengão, while the other part represents Cruzeiro.
The last time Gabigol and Flamengo met at Maracanã was on December 8, 2024, in the striker's farewell match. On that occasion, Mengão drew 2-2 with Vitória, for the 38th round of the Brasileirão. The player even scored one of Fla's goals.
Gabigol's stint at Flamengo lasted six seasons, from 2019 until the end of 2024. With the Sacred Mantle, the player made history by winning 13 titles, among them, two Libertadores, two Brasileiros and two Copas do Brasil.
After missing Cruzeiro against Vasco in the last round, Gabigol is available for coach Leonardo Jardim to face Flamengo. On that occasion, the striker was out of the game as he was serving an automatic suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
With Gabigol available, Flamengo and Cruzeiro will face off at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) this Thursday (02). The match, which will take place at Maracanã, is valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) broadcasts the Flamengo x Cruzeiro game.
