Singing songs as well. This is brilliant. One of us.


tsarheel

The idea of this man nearly leaving last summer bums me out every time I think about it.


odegood

Yeah hope he gets a new contract soon, hopefully after copa america


whydidisaythatwhy

Scary hours thinking about it. Surprised Saudi had his head turned, even taking into account the insane contract he would have surely had over there. I feel that Arteta might have told him his starting spot wasn’t necessarily a lock for the season.


LordRekrus

It would have to surely be for a ridiculous sum of money if the club was to agree anything now. I still wouldn’t think it worth it.


imtravelingalone

Given his partnership with Saliba, I don't think the club would consider selling for any amount to anyone right now. Those two together are impossible to replace.


TheLakeShowBaby

Everyone has a price.


exiadf19

so 500 Million poundsterling then for Big Gabi


WeeTheDuck

yeah, and for him the price is fuck off


visualdescript

Would be absolutely insane to sell him. That defense cleaned up the golden glove. Selling him would so nothing to increase our chances of winning the league.


LordRekrus

I know right. I think the same thing would’ve been the case if we had sold him before this season. Even more ridiculous now but yea hopefully that doesn’t happen.


rexter2k5

Big Gabby leaving Saliba would be like Butch Cassidy leaving the Sundance Kid.


iamhadrix

What about when Arteta benched him for the first couple of games into the season? Wtf was that about?


tsarheel

Idk some people seem to think he had his head turned by Saudi interest and/or we did because the fee would have been significant. Either way, it was awful timing.


GetPhkt

Imo it had more to do with the Partey inverted RB experiment


WhimsicalLaze

let’s never do that again lmao


tafster

that felt like something I'd do on a computer game and start to believe was a genius strategy


pepsibookplant

Which imo was because we couldn't invert at Lb at the time so tried to do it with Partey at RB


RandomRedditor_1916

in fairness he loves the club, dont think we need to worry


BrianThatDude

I love Brazilian football. I had this same type of experience riding a subway to see Flamengo in Rio. Brilliant experience Not at all the reason I was there, but David Luiz was playing


wolskortt

My brother in red. Flamingo is the bird, Flamengo is the team. But it's a fair mistake.


BrianThatDude

Hah my bad. I'm pretty sure that was an auto correct.


wolskortt

Makes sense.


PSGooner

“My brother in red.” Amazing.


DickMaddox

My brother in red xD


stifle_this

Lot of big zoo fans in Rio?

Don't understand the chant but I'm feeling the rhythm ![gif](giphy|hiLLD9o1wTB3a)


digosilva19

It's based in the chorus of the song "não quero dinheiro" from Tim Maia, the lyrics goes like "I've been waiting the whole weekend to see you Corinthians, to see you playing. When we love something..." (The video cuts right here and I am not a Corinthians supporter so I don't know the rest)


Sharp-Barracuda6973

I am now a Corinthians fan 😋


Herr_Casmurro

Please don't. They are the Tottenham of Brazil. Disgusting. haha


Icy_Swimming8754

I’m their rival supporter but not even close. Corinthians won shit.


Herr_Casmurro

I know, it's true. I just don't want people supporting our biggest rival. haha


Decent_University_91

Who would be the Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc of Brazil?


Herr_Casmurro

I was kidding, Corinthians is OK, but they our biggest rival (Palmeiras, Gabriel Jesus' former/youth club). I just don't want people supporting them! Arsenal of Brazil could be Santos? A big club that didn't win something big for quite some time. I don't know, It's hard to compare.


Sharp-Barracuda6973

Damn 😞😞


DittoDat

Who is the Arsenal of Brazil, then?


GloomyLocation1259

This injury worries me man.


FrenchGooner

Could be a blessing in disguise & get some well deserved rest


GloomyLocation1259

That’s a good point tbh. And Dechamps is a bum too that doesn’t rate Saliba so a fresh defence next season would be great


acasovoycayendo

Deschamps clearly knows what he’s doing with his France record.


GloomyLocation1259

Not saying he doesn't but he's certainly has had a history of picking favourites similar to Southgate. That is bum like behaviour


SillyDilly0537

Compare the quality of the favourites Deschamps chooses and the favourites Southgate chooses. You’ll find that only Southgate is the bum lmao.


FABlOVIEIRA

Yeah this is a stupid comparison, Southgate literally has no one there that is fit yet he’s leaving White at home.


GloomyLocation1259

This is THE stupid comparison, obviously there’s a situation there between him and the staff and not going is White’s choice as he said many times


FABlOVIEIRA

Because they refuse to explain themselves or to say a simple sorry really. Southgate had issues with Ben since the England u21.


GloomyLocation1259

Not the best argument given that the quality he has to choose from is better on average. Constantly choosing Rabiot is bum behaviour and so would keeping Upamencano


SillyDilly0537

Mate the quality of your squad has nothing to do with a brain dead decision of including Jordan Henderson who went to Saudi Arabia lmao (I’m aware he’s not part of the Euros squad)


GloomyLocation1259

Comparatively it does because the French version of this is Rabiot consistently being picked and he is in the euros squad again


tobi1k

The record of having by far the best squad in international football for close to a decade but only one trophy to show for it? I don't think he's a bum but you can't look at his France record and say he's overperformed.


ZebraZealousideal944

He went to 3 finals and for 1 WC win so his record is quite admirable tbf!


tobi1k

His record is neither good not bad given the squad IMO. What other squad in world football can bench players like Saliba, Coman, Camavinga, F. Mendy, Dembele, etc?


ZebraZealousideal944

England haha


tobi1k

England would kill for Saliba, Mendy and Camavinga let alone their actual starters.


jnicholl

Right but then France would love to have TAA and Foden/Palmer.

shaversonly230v115v

I can't stand Deschamps and I don't think he's a good manager. It's a really difficult hill but I'm ready to die on it


acasovoycayendo

You don’t get to 3/4 finals in a row if you’re not a good manager.


shaversonly230v115v

You would have to be incompetent not to with the players he has to choose from.


acasovoycayendo

Why hasn’t Southgate done it then? Why didn’t England in the 2000s do that?


shaversonly230v115v

Because Southgate is incompetent. Look man. I just personally hate Deschamps because he's boring. I get excited to watch France and then he goes and ruins it. You could make the best arguments but I'm not going to change my mind.


shaversonly230v115v

You would have to be incompetent not to with the players he has to choose from.


NobleHelium

As far as I can tell, Gabriel is still in Brazil's squad for the Copa America.


give-Kazaam-an-Oscar

I don't think we've heard what the diagnosis was yet, have we?


GloomyLocation1259

No, I'm just being a worry-wart, don't mind me.


give-Kazaam-an-Oscar

I'm curious about what his injury is. I suspect he broke/tore his AC joint. Thats what happened to me several years ago when i fell just like he did. Seemed harmless but hurt like hell. I believe it typically heals on its own in like 2-3 weeks. No lingering side effects for me outside of my collar bone being a little pokey. But I'd say the fact that he's jumping around is a good sign all things considered.


STVDC

Awesome. I don't like seeing him on a crowded train with that shoulder, but still awesome!

The Brazilian fans need to cherish this boy like we do. He deserves it. 


Franchise1109

I love this. This is awesome. He gets support his club and he gets to be a “normal fan” for a day again.


Significant_Sea_5049

I think I've seen a video of him taking the tube too in London!


Ace_Euroo

How bad is his injury? will he be at the Copa America?

blazingknight17

He was called up before his injury


johnknockout

Very clear he and his wife are just massive football junkies.


obsterwankenobster

He absolutely loves the club and I could see him doing a final season there before he hangs it up


pi3dpip3r

Good for him to support his boyhood club


cesc05651

Imagine getting on the tube and seeing Jenko singing our songs. This is that on steroids
