Gabriel will start! Gabriel will start! lol
Great to see he earned the starting spot. Hope he can help Milan this season...
He looks terrible so far....
But this is more a result of more than a year without a real match.
Don´t worry, he´s a amazing prospect.

Imo Neto isn´t that special, but Gabriel is the real deal, just need rhythm and playing time.
Because if not, then it's pretty stupid that a coach calls 2 bench gks in the original team then ends up playing basically his 4th choice
And I honestly can't see what all the fuss about Hulk is...I haven't watched much of Porto or Brazil before but I have watched a couple of friendlies this summer and these Olympics (except the new Zealand match) and I'm struggling to see anything that impressive about this guy to explain the offers/rumours about his price to move from Porto
I totally agree with you that Brazil should have taken another CB instead of that Juan guy (glad that he is an Inter player btw ) and let Lucas & Pato take Hulk's place
Regarding Hulk, couldn´t agree more. I don´t think he´s bad player, but is clearly over hyped. Visiting some English team forums, I can´t believe fans think he´s worth that amount of money, and at the same time Lucas isn´t worth 32 millions. Prove in Europe... lol.
Even Romario is bashing Mano at TV asking why Lucas is on the bench. Even playing a different style which he´s accustomed(possession and not direct football) Lucas is always more effective than Hulk... and playing less time.
Unfortunately I think we will miss this gold medal because of Mano´s decision. He had Dede and David Luiz but chose Hulk
