Um dos gols da vitória do Arsenal sobre o Everton, neste sábado (24), pela oitava rodada da Premier League, saiu dos pés de Gabriel Magalhães. O zagueiro brasileiro ainda foi muito elogiado nas redes sociais, com torcedores exaltando o peso dele no time de Mikel Arteta.
Com o resultado no Emirates Stadium, os Gunners foram a 21 pontos, mesma soma do Manchester City na ponta; o Arsenal segue segundo apenas porque o saldo de gols é menor.
Além de marcar, o brasileiro teve boa tarde defensiva e chegou a 200 jogos na Premier League. A marca virou assunto entre os torcedores, que ressaltaram qualidade e importância dele para o sistema defensivo.
Um dos comentários foi categórico: “Gabriel Magalhães é o melhor zagueiro central do mundo”.
Veio também um longo elogio à trajetória: “Gabriel Magalhães celebrou sua 200ª partida na Premier League pelo Arsenal ajudando os Gunners a vencerem um Everton teimoso por 2–0. QUE MODO DE CELEBRAR! O MURO que não só defende, mas também avança para marcar quando mais precisamos dele! 21 gols como zagueiro. Uma ameaça em ambas as áreas. Um rei na pequena área. O REI DO BRASIL! Grande Gabi, continue infernizando eles. Continue defendendo nossa fortaleza, continue intimidando atacantes e continue transformando escanteios em pesadelos para nossos rivais. 200 partidas. 21 gols. Um MURO absoluto. NÓS TE AMAMOS, GABRIEL!”
Outro torcedor foi na comparação histórica: “Um dos melhores zagueiros que o Arsenal JÁ teve. Gabriel Magalhães.”
Houve quem lembrasse o contexto: “Jogar para, digamos, o time mais odiado do planeta significa que Gabriel Magalhães não recebe o crédito que merece. Facilmente entre os 3 melhores defensores do mundo. Meu defensor. Meu monstro. BIG GABI!”
E um lance específico ganhou destaque: “A antecipação de Gabriel Magalhães foi top top. Ele sabia que Barry atiraria imediatamente ao se virar e Gabriel fez questão de esticar o pé para bloquear”.
Na terça-feira (27), o Arsenal joga fora de casa contra o Fleetwood Town, pela Copa da Liga. Depois, em 1º de novembro, recebe o Liverpool pela Premier League.
