Gabigol breaks silence on Tite’s arrival in Cruzeiro

During his participation in “Podpah”, striker Gabriel Barbosa returned to the forefront when he discussed a subject that caused a buzz behind the scenes at Cruzeiro: his coexistence with coach Tite. The presence of the coach in the heavenly setting raised questions about possible internal noises, notably involving number 9.

Attacker denies conflict rumors

When addressing the subject, Gabigol directly denied any type of disagreement with the coach. According to the player, the relationship between them is professional and respectful.

– He (Tite) is the coach of the team, I have nothing against him. I gave my opinion, because he must have his own. We are for Cruzeiro, it is not about him and Gabriel. It’s about the group, about Cruzeiro’s victory. He knows we experienced that at Flamengo. We had no problems at Flamengo, we had no arguments. I respect him, as I respect all my coaches. I’ve never had a problem with a trainer. He’s in charge, I’m the player. Whatever I have to do to help Cruzeiro, I will do it – he declared.

The trajectory of Gabriel Barbosa and coach Tite had a break last season. During his time at Flamengo, the striker ended up losing place in the main team, which had a direct impact on his starting streak.
