Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa took in his first game as a Flamengo player yesterday as the Rubro-Negro overcame Bangu 2-1 at the Maracana and shared his thoughts after the game.
“It is a special stadium for Brazilians. I have been very happy here previously [having won Olympic Gold here] and now I hope to be happy at Flamengo too. Physically I am doing well it is just too bad that I can not play. I am eager to take to the field. I am happy with this team and I hope to be able to help Flamengo,” he told Globoesporte.
Foram quase dois meses longe. Mais de 46 mil torcedores presentes no Maracanã para ver a estreia do Mengão no Estadual de 2019. Vitória sobre o Bangu por 2 a 1, com gols de Diego e Rhodolfo, e o #Reencontro com a Nação em uma autêntica tarde de domingo Rubro-Negra. pic.twitter.com/Q1JB2KVtM8
