My Take
Gabriel's path is the kind of story I quietly root for. Out of a small town in Minas Gerais, polished in Cruzeiro's academy, then snapped up by AC Milan at nineteen, he carried the weight of huge expectation early. The years of loans and shuffling that followed could read as a fall, but I see resilience instead. Goalkeeping is a thankless, exposed job, and a 193 cm frame between the posts demands both nerve and patience. Finding steady work at Vitória feels less like a comedown and more like a man who simply kept showing up. That stubborn persistence earns my respect.
