During the period in which he was prevented from working at Flamengo’s CT, Gabigol had continuous supervision from club professionals and emphasized work with strength and resistance. Physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and physiotherapist Lanyian Neves, who has also worked individually for the number 10 for some time, were frequent figures in the athlete’s training sessions.

With the focus on the aforementioned valences, he did not show any losses in physical levels nor did he suffer any changes in weight. Gabigol will now have to readapt to confrontations in ball activities at Ninho do Urubu, but especially to regain the rhythm of the game. He has not played since February 25, when he came on in the 34th minute of the 2-0 victory over Fluminense, still in the Guanabara Cup.

The impression left in the first training with his teammates is that Gabigol is physically well.

The number 10 always trained at the opposite time to the squad at Ninho do Urubu. Fábio Mahseredjian was the one who was most with the athlete, but fellow trainers Arthur Peixoto and Marlon Syndara made frequent visits. Physiotherapists were part of Gabigol’s routine.

Freed to go back to doing what he loves most, Gabigol is looking forward to a few minutes against Amazonas, on Wednesday night, at Maracanã. Regardless of whether he will play, the number 10, after all the demonstrations on social media, is already certain that he will receive a lot of affection when he reunites with the fans.
