Interviewed by Calciomercato.com, Gabriel Barbosa’s agent Wagner Ribeiro commented after Inter’s 3-0 victory over Lazio on Wednesday night.
“I watched the game and Gabigol demonstrated he deserves a chance,” Ribeiro stated.
“He joined Inter with joy and will, I talked to him after the game and he was happy. Gabriel should remain and win, for sure he can not go back to Brazil. On January 12nd I’ll be in Milan, we want Gabriel to remain but the last word is by Pioli.
“I’m sure if the coach will give him a chance, Gabriel will not exit the field anymore. If Inter will decide for a loan, Italy is the best option. He’s in very good relationships with all his teammates, for me he would be perfect to play offensive winger in 4-3-3 system.”

I get that Italian football is very disciplined in defense. But those passes he put out were really good. Candreva is hot right now, but we all remember the harder times this season where all he did was throw up crosses to nowhere. I say let the boy play his way I was excited the whole time he was on the pitch and there was some real attacking threat when he dribbles down the line. I get that if we were losing his flair would look like he is wasting chances, but sometimes the flair can Ben the key to unlocking tight defense.
I know you mean, but I don’t think Candreva is the problem by now, instead I like to have a replacement for Perisic, not sure if Gabi could play in the other wing-
the new method is to fuck the boy by giving him a few minutes of playing time.
it is too little and for messi, smart inter asses !
I do quite understand why pioli prefer candreva. Gabigol has too much unnecessery move, meanwhile candrea is on fire right now. Not to mention, candreva is helping defense a lot, while gabigol off ball movement is still really bad i think.
I agree candreva is better, but where did you see gabi playing like that ?
Just from minutes he got with us. But you can immeditely see why
hmm, the same was and with roberto carlos and others ??
you cant even compare candreva to gabi, candreva has so much experience
That’s true though
It was fun watching him show off, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Pioli wanted him NOT to do. But Brazilians will be Brazilians.
He is only 20, he gets the chance to play ofcourse he wants to show what can do.
The game was already won anyways.
Inter has a terrible history with younger talents, if we fail with gabigol who obviously has star potential it will make the club even less attractive for these super talents.
Dont fuck this up please, give him meaningful minutes and stop playing that old bum Palacio for no reason whatsoever. Retards.
very good comment !
but he pulled it off, specially that no look rabona and we were leading don’t see anything wrong, and didn’t you like it? yes you loved it
I didn’t say I didn’t enjoy it. But Pioli scolded him after the game, he seems to be a fan of performance rather than technique. And stability, which is why Palacio is often chosen rather than Gabriel.
tell me which coach is not like that, a famous quote from mou, quaresma likes to kick the ball with outside of his foot but if you ask me at the end of the season you will see a different quaresma
I believe postal try to find the reason why coach give him less minute play.i agree with him, were enjoy it. For the game where were leading 3-0 its ok, but not in tight game. Maybe thats the things that he should learn more, to play effective
The fans loved him on the pitch
inter fans love players with flair, since most of them became inter fans because of R9 purchase thanks to Mr. Moratti
True
Indeed
My favorite player of all time. I sure do miss him.
