Flamengo began preparations to face Grêmio, this Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The clubs, indeed, find themselves in different moments, as Mengão is the championship leader, while Grêmio is in the second half of the table. Grêmio's coach, Mano Menezes, projected the clash and commented on Fla's financial disparity.
— I see it naturally. This has been happening all over the world for many years. The Europeans are far ahead of the others. The two biggest in Spain are always far ahead of the others. Those in England, who have an investment of billions, are ahead of the rest and we have to face them with other weapons -, he said, before concluding:
— The whole of Brazil knows that it is harder to play against Flamengo at Maracanã, and Rio Grande do Sul also knows, right. We will work as we work to face any opponent. I think we are going to face one of the best teams in Brazil, one of the best squads in Brazil, but we have the ability to face them as we face everyone -, concluded Mano Menezes.
Flamengo, at this moment, continues to lead the Brasileirão, with 46 points earned. In the meantime, Filipe Luís' team has 14 victories, four draws, and only two losses. On the other hand, Grêmio is in the 14th position in the championship, with 24 points.
The clash between Flamengo and Grêmio takes place at 4 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match, which takes place at Maracanã, will be covered by Coluna do Fla, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
