Gabigol: Tried too hard at Inter

By Football Italia staff

Santos returnee Gabriel Barbosa admits he “tried too hard” and “went wrong as soon as I left the bench” at Inter.

Gabigol returns to Santos on loan, 18 months after leaving for Inter in a €29.5m deal, the forward having failed to make any Serie A starts in his time with the Nerazzurri.

“I tried too hard on certain occasions,” the Brazilian said at his official unveiling.

“I know I’ve made mistakes, but I’m moving forward again. It’s very easy for me at Santos.

“I’m very young, playing football gives me happiness and I need to be back playing. I decided it was time to come back, while also thinking about the World Cup.

“I went wrong as soon as I left the bench for Inter, but I apologised the next day. The best quality of a man is to apologise after making a mistake and learn from it.”
