Rivaldo believes that Gabigol should return to Europe

In an interview with Betfair, five-time world champion Rivaldo commented on the possibility of Gabigol returning to European football. the attacker of Flamengo is speculated at Newcastle and West Ham, both from England.

For Rivaldo, even if Gabigol did not do well on his last visit to Europe, the athlete should return to the Old Continent and even fit into an elite Premier League club.

“He didn’t do well in his first experience in Europe, but today he is a more experienced and qualified player who, in my opinion, would even justify playing for a bigger Premier League club like Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester City, not wanting to disrespect them both. interested clubs, of course,” he said.

However, Rivaldo warns that the transfer would only be good for the player, if it were a request from the coach. “There is another data that seems crucial to me. He must sign for a club that signed him at the request of the manager, not the board. When you arrive at a club without the coach’s approval, you can end up having fewer opportunities to play and getting frustrated”, he said.

“But if it becomes the coach’s bet, then he will have more time to adapt to the country and get along with the new team, always with the certainty that he will have many chances to play in his new club,” Rivaldo told Betfair.

Gabigol was the top scorer of the last edition of Conmebol Libertadores, with 11 goals, and a highlight of Flamengo in recent seasons. For the club, the striker won nine titles, including two Brazilian Championships, one Libertadores and the Carioca trichampionship.
