In an interview with FIFA, Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa has revealed some of the measures he has taken which thinks have contributed to him starring whilst on loan at Flamengo from Inter.

“Has my game got better? I think it has. I think I’ve evolved a lot, and this makes me very happy because I’m still very young. I’ve changed a lot of things in my life since I came back from Europe, and this year I’ve been particularly focused on this,” he began.

“I hired a nutrition doctor. I loved cake, sweet things – I’ve cut them out. I hired a chef. I eat right. I have a physiotherapist and people who look after other things, and this has helped me a lot – I can focus on football. I’ve managed some wonderful statistics with the help of my team, but I always want to improve.”

He then played down comparisons being made between him and Adriano and Zico.

“It’s a great honour, but I don’t deserve to be mentioned beside Adriano and Zico. They are Flamengo and Brazilian football legends, and they won titles for this club. I haven’t won anything yet and there’s a lot to do to win the Brasileirao and Libertadores titles.

“Besides, my statistics are the result of the whole team’s work, not my own. I’m very grateful to my team-mates and my coach. I’ll admit that my focus is not just to become a champion with Flamengo so obviously if I can finish as top goalscorer again I’ll be really happy.”

He also spoke on how it feels to be so well supported by the Flamengo fans in the stands.

“It makes me really happy. I’ve only been at Flamengo a short while, and obviously the goals and the victories help, but the supporters have been behind me since the first game. The enormous affection they have shown me has really overwhelmed me. I’m so grateful. I try to repay this on the pitch.”
