He seems more than a footballer a charming prince: it may be for his blond hair and sky-colored eyes, refined style, gentle appearance and old-fashioned ways.
On the field however a Gabriele Gori character has never been lacking, like the “cazzimma”, combined with the determination to demonstrate to everyone that he does not feel and is second to none. His family passed on important values to him such as education and respect for everyone, but he also taught him not to give up, to achieve what he wants.
A true Florentine, born in ’99, always with his head in the ball, supported by his father and grandfather who have always believed in him, since he was a child and began to make his way in the Viola’s youth sector. At 19 he made his debut in Serie B with Foggia: because his destiny is closely linked with the South and with the passionate squares, as if to demonstrate that despite his refined appearance, he has never lacked the temperament to play in hot stadiums.
He knows B well: 95 appearances, 14 goals, first against Foggia and then Livorno, the parenthesis in Arezzo in Lega Pro, again among the cadets with Vicenza, Cosenza until the explosion against Reggina. But the road was tortuous: first myocarditis from Covid, when he was in Cosenzathen Reggina disappears and he is left without a team after an excellent championship.
Avellino represented a new beginning, a passage to return to that category that he loves, that he feels is most his, in which he was able to express himself and get noticed. Just like what happened to Partenio Lombardi. He arrived at the end of August, it took him some time to find his condition, he started quietly, given the “wealth” in attack, then the two goals with the Power and a consistency of performance, with a crescendo between October and November, even if he always had to jostle for the starting place. 2023 minutes in total, 12 goals between the cup and the championship which represented his personal career best, and a rivalry at times with Patierno, at others with Sgarbi, which at times made him angry, excited or disheartened, depending on the circumstances.
However, he never lost his confidence, his self-esteem, the belief that he was a true bomber.
«I hope to always be a starter, I always leave my mark when I play and I want to continue doing so. I’ve never played the Serie C playoffs, I played that one for Serie A losing with a goal in the 90th minute. Our fans must help us, we are one, together we must scare our opponents.”
The argument with Patierno
So he spoke before the challenge with the Picerno during which he argued with Patierno for a penalty to be taken, sulking and then disappearing after the goal, even though his teammate scolded him in the press room and also in private.
A relationship, the one with the number 9, loyal even if the two are different in character, Gori is more closed and shy, Patierno more open and playful and fueled by healthy competition.
Because Gabriele is like this: solitary even if he is able to feel good in company, especially with Sgarbi, to understand when it is time to speak or to keep quiet, methodical and careful to respect the rules of a professional: eat healthily, sleep well and maximum concentration.
It doesn’t bother him to be the son-in-law of a myth like that Beppe Bergomi: his other half Sara is like him, beautiful and elegant. No silicone, no excessive make-up: because simplicity makes the difference.
He speaks with the Inter flag, asking for advice and suggestions. Now he only has a return to Serie B in his mind, even better if with one of his goals because Gori is convinced that he is second to no one, but to prove it he needs a signature that will remain forever in the history of Avellino.
