Not even in the Portuguese cup against Vitoria Setubal was it is possible for Brazilian attacker Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa to find some playing time in reigning Portuguese champions Benfica’s starting line-up.
The Brazilian youngster did not get a minute of playing time when Benfica advanced to the 4th round of the Taca do Portugal, the Portuguese cup, when Pizzi and Filip Krovinovic scored the goals for Benfica when they defeated Vitoria Setubal.
Why wasting time sending him out of Serie A…
Best option is to loan him to Serie A mid table team.
We need to start inserting financial incitaments based, on appearances or minutes, to the clubs when we loan out our youngsters. This is ridiculous, he could well have stayed on the bench at Inter. Next move for Gabriel must be lower side in serie a.
