Arsenal star’s hair transplant advertised on black cab

Gabriel Magalhaes, Arsenal centre-back, has his hair transplant showcased in an advertising campaign, leading to a flurry of opinions among fans.
He goes very fast, it seems, and even a little too fast according to those who have had the chance to see him play for more than a few minutes. A technical profile in line with his accelerated start to his career. Or rather offbeat. If Marquinhos (20 years old) is today on loan at Nantes, he recognizes it, it is because it was an opportunity. “A very good club, ambitious, which was looking to grow after a bad season. My goal is to succeed at Arsenal, with my agents and the club's managers, we saw that the best for me, for my adaptation to Europe, was to continue for another year elsewhere, to have more game time. " “Ligue 1 is more physical than the Premier League and, like Arsenal, Nantes likes to have the ball” MARQUINHOS Another way of saying he left too soon for too big a club. A year ago, Arsenal took advantage of a loophole in the Pelé law to recruit a player for 3 million euros who would have cost them three or four times more if he had been protected by a long contract. An opportunistic purchase for the club which led to a blank season for the right winger, dumped too quickly into the European jungle. “At first it was a bit difficult because of the language. I had English lessons in Brazil, but it is totally different from having to speak, express yourself on a daily basis. Everything was new to me. The three Brazilians who were there helped me a lot (Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli). » His six-month loan to Norwich, in the Championship, was a success. After a fiery first match against Cardiff (one goal, one assist), his statistics no longer changed (in 11 appearances). His explosive profile must serve in a team that sometimes lacks depth, as does his ability to play as a second striker, the position he occupied in his professional debut. “I also think that Ligue 1 is more physical than the Premier League and that, like Arsenal, Nantes likes to have the ball. » He has a clear vision of his strong points, “speed and finishing” and has imported, to Nantes, the framework which reassures him. “I live with my mother and my two older brothers (26 and 22 years old), the house is always full,” he smiles. The youngest (15 years old) stayed in Brazil with his father, who chaperones the second apprentice footballer in the family. Before signing, he was reassured about the family dimension of the club by Andrei Girotto. Like Adson, he spends a lot of his free time playing video games and quotes Neymar when an idol is mentioned. “He left an indelible mark by becoming the top scorer for the Seleçao,” he argues. People experience football so intensely that very often they don't understand what we do off the field. We should just thank him for everything he has done for football and for what he continues to do with the Brazilian selection.
