Some weeks ago São Caetano’s coach Dorival Junior just said they have watched Grêmio’s documentaryA Batalha dos Aflitos as inspiration before the match against São Paulo at Paulista’s Championship semi-final. It worked innit? São caetano beat São Paulo for 4-1, not mentioning the way they won it. Classic! And now his team is pretty near of being the champion of this season.
Alright, last night I just had the same thought. That Grêmio should be inspired by itself to win São Paulo at Libertadores. And all I saw was a non-so enthusiastic team that even in the first half had great opportunities of score but didn’t. Not a Grêmio of Libertadores we are all used to.
I know we are going to decide the future at Libertadores at home next Wednesday, anyway. And I also think Grêmio can do it easily, but at the same time I would like to see a São Caetano’s spirit on it. Maybe some São Caetano’s tapes can help Mano Menezes!
hehehe... too many competitions. make a long story short: Sao Caetano is playing the state championship final after beating powerfull Sao Paulo in the semifinal for amazing 5 x 2 in agregate. Two years ago, Gremio won an unbielivable match to go back to Brasileirao First Division in an episode known as A Batalha dos Aflitos (it is a movie, check the link Moluska posted it). Sao Caetano watched the tape of the movie before beating Sao Paulo. And, finally, Sao Paulo is playing Gremio for second round in Libertadores playoff. First leg was Sao Paulo 1 x 0 Gremio. Second game is on Wednesday and Moluska (gremio fan) thinks it is time to watch the video again (wow... I am tired of writing.. hehe). Best
yes, i like the SM point of view lol and i also have a new idea.....maybe gremio should watch the tape of its match against sao paulo last wednesday and try something better next week!!!! :O(
