GRÊMIO v. juventude

Due to international audience I'll start writing in other languages besides Portuguese. For starters English, but don't be surprised when you find some of my texts in Français, Deutsch, or something else. Español, for now, will only be for copy-paste the articles from 'La Copa'.

About the game...

Comparing the expectations and the results we can say that nothing odd happened. But we know life is not that simple...

Close to 10k people went on a Saturday of Carnival to see Victor be expelled by 1 minute of game, after Fábio Santos miss the pass sending directly to the "polenteiros' striker" leaving the only option to Victor obstruct the passage and receive the red card. 'Sir' Juarez decided to remove a forward leaving the team as a 3-5-1, instead of (what seemed obvious) remove a defender making a 4-3-2. I would take the other forward, the striker that until than had only scored ONCE, by a penalty kick. By the end of the night the story changed...

Luckily, by 6 minutes their defender was also expelled leaving 10 against 10 in the field.

After that the game was pretty easy and Juventude didn't make anything to deserve better luck.

Concerns... Rever left the field in the interval with some pain in his foot and Tcheco later in 2nd half with problems in his pubis. Hopefully they will be good for the premiere this Wednesday, especially our captain (you know I'm referring to...). De Leon, Adilson... our captains must be defenders, but this is subject for another post...

Friday, the adversary will be vec and probably we'll confront them with our second team (or a 'hot mix' if you must...). Until them all our attention will be in Wed night game.
