Inter striker Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa has thanked Santos manager Cuca to helping him get back on track and find form again while he is back on loan with his boyhood club.

“He has been very important and we have talked a lot. He changed my role and now he lets me play with more space so I have more freedom. I do not like playing in the box so it was very important, not just for me, but for the whole team,” the Brazilian striker explained in an interview with Spor TV.

Gabigol has got himself back in amongst the goals since his return to Brazil and scored two in the Peixe’s latest game over Parana.
