Midfielder Gabriel Sara, trained in the youth teams at São Paulo, is having a good time in English football. That Saturday, he stood out in Norwich’s comeback victory over Millwall, 3-2, with a great goal and an assist. The goal competes for the most beautiful award of the round of the EFL Championship, the local Second Division.
“I hope I have the opportunity to do some more of these. I am happy to see the repercussions and to be in the running for the award”, declared Gabriel Sara.

Norwich’s equalizing goal came from Sara’s feet. Taking a corner kick, the Brazilian crossed to the middle of the area and found Soresen, who hit the first time to leave everything the same. Before the Brazilian’s goal, Bradshaw countered to turn the score around.
In the second half, Sara scored the goal that gave final numbers to the game. The Brazilian received the ball at the entrance to the area, with his back to the goal, dominated with the right, turned the body and finished with the left hand, with no chance of defense. The ball still hit the crossbar before going in. Now, the Brazilian has three goals and two assists in the last five games.
“Over the last few months I’ve tried to focus as much as possible to adapt as quickly as possible to English football. I’m very satisfied with what has happened since the beginning of this year and especially in recent weeks. The most important thing is that the club manages to stay in the fight. for the promotion, which is our objective and where this group deserves to be”, said the ex-São Paulo player.
In recent weeks, Sara has been joined by Marquinhos, a friend from her time in São Paulo. The 19-year-old winger has been loaned from Arsenal to Norwich until the end of the current season. In the penultimate game, against Cardiff, the goal scored by Gabriel Sara was assisted by debutant Marquinhos.
The result against Millwall made Norwich take 6th place in the EFL Championship, a position that puts the team back in the playoff zone for the Premier League. Gabriel Sara’s team returns to the field next Sunday, against Sunderland, at 9 am (Brasília time).
