Gabriel Barbosa is involved in a new controversy. The Flamengo striker was caught wearing a Corinthians jersey, a situation that generated enormous discomfort among fans of the Rio de Janeiro club. In an interview given on Sunday to the portal UOL, the Brazilian apologized for the "thoughtless act", guaranteeing it will not happen again.
"First of all, I was wrong. I think it's about making mistakes, apologizing, knowing that I was wrong. But the moment the photo came out, I was perplexed. I didn't speak publicly, it was a period I took to think. Of course, in the heat of the moment, my first thought was to deny it," said the striker.
"As I talk to a friend, I collect jerseys, I exchange jerseys, be it from the national team, from basketball... That was one of the ones I received. That jersey also has a racial issue. But as I said, I was wrong, I apologize. It was an act that I didn't think about, I didn't know that all this would happen. I would never wear a jersey to disrespect Flamengo and Flamengo fans," he continued.
"I was home on vacation. I stayed out for a while because of the doping issue and I invited some people to my house during that period, to help me and give me encouragement. It was the first day I had a little peace of mind and I was having a barbecue with friends, people from Flamengo, friends of mine. That photo ended up coming out that changed the whole picture of the story," he explained.
"I love Flamengo, I'm a Flamengo fan, my home is Rio de Janeiro. I'm sure it's a photo that will change that," he concluded.
