70 minutes played, little room for a show but the usual standing ovations whenever he touched the ball. The first game as a starterfor Gabriel Barbosa wasn’t brilliant, but certainly positive and he played with a great desire. “A game without any praise, but to see the best side of the Brazilian we need more time.” This is what Gazzetta dello Sport writes in today’s edition. “He arrived with a lot of expectations, someone even told us to expect Ronaldo, but the only thing they have in common is their nationality. At least for now. The fact is that he’s a 20-year old boy that costed nearly 30 million euros, and being left out of the team by three coaches (Mancini, De Boer and Pioli) didn’t help him a lot. If the start of the season for Inter had been less chaotic, things could have been different and we could have seen more of the youngster, yesterday we might have seen the first steps towards a new era for Gabigol in Inter.”

wasn’t impressed so far, but he deserves more time to adapt!
Honestly, he’s still not a starter material in serie a. Physically, he’s in bad shape perhaps due to lack of matches. It’s not good to left him rotting on the bench. He NEEDS to play. I really hope we loan him out this january. And he must understand that he still needs time and accept the loan for his own good sake.
mancini!? LOL.. as far as i remember your 3 coaches should be FDP, vecchi, and piolli..^^
I know right lol Maninci wasn’t even around when we signed Gabi. FDB only played him for like 5 min. Vecchi could get a pass as he only had a couple days to work with the team so he wouldn’t have known anything about Gabi. At least we’re seeing him more with Pioli and know that Pioli can train him to play in Serie A
‘The fact is that he’s a 20-year old boy that costed nearly 30 million euros, and being left out of the team by three coaches (Mancini’
What, he was never coached by Mancini..
If Pioli can make the best of Felipe Anderson, so can he with Gabigol.
Gabigol will be fine. I’m sure Pioli will get the best out of him.
first half he seems a bit nervous, but in the second half he improved quite a lot. clearly his touch are still awful and his vision are still bad but there’s still so much room to grow. loan is the best option that gabigol needed now but he want to fight to gain the position he deserved and that is some positive news for us
Comparing Gabigol’s first season at Inter to that of Ronaldo will simply add unnecessary burden to him. Before joining Inter, Ronaldo had been at his best playing for PSV and Barca. Let Gabi find his shape under Pioli. It is very wonderful to see how enthusiast the fans toward him. They are not reluctant to give their applause when he touches the ball; when his confidence grows, Gabi will become an ideal partner for Icardi.
