የአርሰናል የቆሙ ኳሶች ንጉስ ! ጋብርኤል ማጋሌሽ !

[Music] Gabriel [Applause] Gabriel [Applause] Barnmoz to the Premier League, to the Champions League, one question echoes in blood. Can Gabriel Magalhães be stopped? A warrior defender, and also a goal-scoring striker, silent, but suddenly scoring goals that shake the stadium, creating in difficult moments. He is the emblem of the new Arsenal. Remember this: when Arsenal gets a set-piece, when the ball is struck, remember the goalkeepers who are there, the players who scramble to use and save the ball. Gabriel Magalhães is also there. He is the king in the middle of the chaos, the crisis. He is Arsenal's main shooter for set-pieces. Now, Arsenal's opponents, when Arsenal gets a set-piece, defending alone is not enough for them. Perhaps they should add prayer. Under Mikel Arteta's team, led by Nicolas Jover, set-pieces are becoming an art. What was once considered a common occurrence in football, a corner or a free-kick, is now Arsenal's main weapon to bring opponents to their knees. When these opportunities arise, all eyes turn to Gabriel Magalhães. An unstoppable, uncontainable, unyielding, unendurable cannonball. In the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the crisis, he is the only one who finds the scoring position. From St. James' Park, from the Premier League to the Champions League, Arsenal's strength is its emblem. The dragon has been tamed. Can Gabriel Magalhães be stopped? Gabriel [Applause] He outmaneuvers and outjumps defenders taller than him, making them look small. From Arsenal's excellent set-piece takers, a ball touched with a slight advantage becomes a goal-scoring event for Arsenal, breaking the opponent. Now, the feeling Arsenal fans have when they get a set-piece is becoming comparable to what fans of other clubs feel when they get a penalty. The main person making them feel that way is Gabriel Magalhães. In one era, Arsenal's hallmark was only beautiful play. Flowing ball movement, formations created with the ball, players admired for their skill. The current Arsenal, even without all those things, sometimes overcomes teams with just a scramble for the ball. That fighting spirit, even without beautiful play, is what Arteta's team has. And the leader of that cannonball is called Gabriel Magalhães. Since Nicolas Jover arrived at Arsenal, no club in the Premier League has scored as many goals from set-pieces as Arsenal. And amidst all these goals, the defender who calmly observes the chaos is Gabriel Magalhães, the main center. [Applause] [Applause] Arsenal's agonizing night at St. James' Park. The Gunners, as usual, dropped points against Newcastle. In the dying moments of the match, with a powerful header, he scored a goal that snatched three points between Newcastle and Arsenal players. Gabriel Magalhães scored a goal that robbed Arsenal fans of their joy and anticipation, a goal that broke Newcastle's struggle to use their vibrant stadium and fans to inflict another bitter defeat on Arsenal. We will perhaps remember the true value of Gabriel Magalhães' goal in the future. In the Europa Champions League, against one of the most difficult teams, Atlético Madrid, at the Emirates, after a full ninety minutes of defensive effort, the breakthrough came from Gabriel Magalhães' incredibly organized movement, a header. After Magalhães scored that crucial goal against Atlético, the Gunners faced no challenge in scoring the remaining three goals. When opponents are defiant and things don't go as planned, Arteta's main weapon is Gabriel Magalhães. [Applause] Corner kicks are counted by strikers like free kicks. They yearn to score. It's about timing. While others look for a place to walk, he is seen finding a gap to run. Last year, the number of headed goals Gabriel Magalhães scored is unmatched by any Premier League striker with their head. He is now becoming Arsenal's player for creating psychological pressure. Defenders try to close him down from all sides. Amidst that, he somehow makes contact with the ball. When defenders scramble to mark him, players like Timber, Saliba, and Merino gain freedom. Gabriel's defensive prowess is praised by Elche's Atlético. He doesn't often approach the cameras, he doesn't often look directly at them, but he is the center of Arsenal's defense, a perfect match for William Saliba. Let's follow Gabriel Magalhães' story. [Applause] [Music] Gabriel Gabriel [Music] [Applause] Although he is 190 cm tall, he is fast and active, very hardworking, and does not accept defeat. Now, he is another wall in the Gunners' increasingly impenetrable defensive line. When the ball starts, he is pushed back by the set-piece, making him unable to defend. When he came to the Premier League, he was considered an unstudied, dangerous player who was a threat to Arsenal. But in just a few seasons, he has become one of the leaders who have created Arsenal's great defense. As a youth, he was afraid to touch the ball with his head. Now, he scores crucial goals with powerful headers. He has quickly placed himself among the team's most important players. A hardworking, fearless player who gives his all. The image of Arsenal's defensive foundation, Gabriel Magalhães, among the stars. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Not everything came easily. His childhood dream of becoming a professional footballer did not come easily. He faced football challenges that were about to end before they began. He knocked on the doors of many clubs in Brazil. None were willing to give him a chance. He tried repeatedly, and they repeatedly said no. At the age of 14, a distant club outside his hometown, called Avai, made him a member of the youth team, though not the main team. He had to travel over 700 kilometers from his hometown, Sao Paulo, to find a football club. What stopped his rejection and the constant "no" was his conviction that he could play football. He had to leave his beloved hometown far behind to get a chance. Avai, like other Brazilian clubs, did not tell Gabriel "you are not good enough." Within a few days of observation, they recognized him as a new club member and accepted him. After a few days of training, Gabriel Magalhães wanted to return to his family, to Sao Paulo. He couldn't integrate with his teammates or the environment. Homesickness became a challenge. He returned, but it was the right way to change the lives of his family, who meant so much to him. Especially his father called the then coach, Dinho Fernande, and arranged for Magalhães to return to Avai FC. His football career continued. Young people with a passion and dream for football face such challenges, especially at the beginning. Avai gave Gabriel an opportunity that many other clubs denied him. He was very thin, but tall and lanky. A player who would lose the ball under slight pressure, not strong, and who wouldn't dare head the ball. They knew he had something special. In the end, our decision was correct. When we transferred him to Lille in 2017, it was the biggest transfer in Avai's history. He was born to be a great player. Diego Fernande was the coach then. He hadn't been to any academy until he was 14. But he stood out and was noticed for his hard work. Another coach, Tasso Costa, said that when they had to choose between two left-footed defenders to bring Gabriel into the main team, they let one go. Watching him play, he said, "This boy will play at a high level when he turns 18." He was supported to work hard, endure his longing, and achieve his dream, says Nilio. Shy, thin, tall, Gabriel Magalhães, who repeatedly left the football field to struggle back to his hometown, Sao Paulo, gradually improved his performance on the field. [Music] Initially, his preferred position on the football field was not defense. His desire and ambition were to play as a main striker, to become like his idol, Ronaldo Nazário de Lima. Four years later, when he got the chance to move from the youth teams to the main team, he played as a striker. He scored a goal in his first game as a striker. But after that, it became clear that he was a player suited to defending the team. And he remains in that role. Avai, as they rose to the Brazilian Serie B, spotted Gabriel Magalhães. After signing him in 2017, he was loaned to Troyes and Dinamo Zagreb. Gradually, Gabriel Magalhães began to break into the main team and get opportunities to play. [Music] [Applause] [Music] He was a young player who found it difficult to accept defeat, a sensitive young player who cried when his team lost. Flavio Albano, the youth team coach, when asked to take him to Palmeiras, said he didn't want to leave the Avai club that had supported him in difficult times. After leading Avai to Brazil Serie B at the age of 19, he moved to the French league under the former coach Marcelo Bielsa. After playing on loan for Troyes and Dinamo Zagreb, when Bielsa was replaced by Christophe Galtier, Magalhães returned to Lille in 2018. Together with Jose Fonte, they formed a strong defensive partnership at Lille. Former Lille coach Christophe Galtier said about Magalhães: "He is a player who seizes the opportunity given to him and never lets it go. He is a player who doesn't hesitate to give his all to play, an example for other young players." The player attracted the attention of English Premier League clubs. The club that came closest to signing Gabriel Magalhães was. Later, Mikel Arteta and Edu brought Magalhães to Arsenal. His first year at Arsenal was a mix of hope and concern from the Arsenal fans. He showed his potential when Arsenal beat Manchester at Old Trafford after 14 years. In many games, he was criticized for making unnecessary emotional decisions, with a significant gap in using his mind, and was seen as a risk. Sometimes, Mikel Arteta even substituted Gabriel Magalhães in crucial games due to his performance. He was chosen to play, but when he played, he was a player who was both a threat and a danger, and this was clearly recognized. So, Arsenal and Arteta began to refine his raw talent through repeated opportunities and work. When Gabriel Magalhães won Arsenal's Player of the Month award consecutively, Mikel Arteta said: "It's amazing that he has come from the French league to the English Premier League at this age." But Gabriel Magalhães did not finish the year 2020 as he started. His brilliant performances were overshadowed by mistakes. In the 2021-22 season, Magalhães played in all games except three for Arsenal. In addition to scoring five goals that season, he showed growing talent. The 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, however, were the years when Gabriel Magalhães proved to be Arsenal's true wall. Together with William Saliba, they formed the Premier League's current outstanding defensive partnership at the Gunners. He has played over 150 games for the Gunners, maturing in goal-scoring, leadership, and showing love for the club. He has become one of Arsenal's untouchable players, a beloved star. He has become the solution in difficult moments, Gabriel Magalhães. [Music] Another wall of the Gunners, an insurmountable obstacle. In the past two seasons, the current Gabriel Magalhães has emerged. In England, in London, Gabriel Magalhães felt happiness, which is unusual for Latin American players. He has strong connections with Brazilians living in London. This has helped him to settle down. He shares his life experiences with young people living in London, telling them what they need to do to succeed. He is a player who participates a lot in the Brazilian community and is loved. His on-field skills were quickly praised. Gabriel is a prime example of why and how he does his work. He is a star who shows that effort and hard work are the beginning and end of all good things, said Mikel Arteta. [Music] with [Music] His life principles are simple. Unlike the usual Brazilian lifestyle and freedom, he travels on public transport to games, meets with fans and reporters, and spends time with children. Corinthians is the club imprinted on his heart, which he loves. Now, although his heart is with Arsenal, he has publicly stated that he wants to wear the Corinthians jersey one day. Many items that remind him of Corinthians are in his home. It is not impossible that one day the Gunner will be seen in Corinthians colors. Players can achieve anything when they are happy and supported. Gabriel Magalhães is a testament to this, says Mikel Arteta. Especially in this year's Premier League match against Spurs, where he was the man of the match and scored a goal, Gabriel Magalhães, after coming off, has done amazing things for the club, first as a person and then as a player. We are here because we create players like him everywhere. When players love their environment and receive support, and when they train, they reach heights they never imagined, said Arteta. Arsenal's other wall, a testament to hard work, dedication, and an unyielding spirit, Gabriel Magalhães. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Another wall of the Gunners' increasingly impenetrable defensive line. When the ball starts, he is pushed back by the set-piece, making him unable to defend. When he came to the Premier League, he was considered an unstudied, dangerous player who was a threat to Arsenal. But in just a few seasons, he has become another leader of Arsenal's great defense. As a youth, he was afraid to touch the ball with his head. Now, he scores crucial goals with powerful headers. He has quickly placed himself among the team's most important players. A hardworking, active, fearless player who gives his all. The image of Arsenal's defensive foundation, Gabriel Magalhães, among the stars. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] cor
