Copa do Brasil semifinals. Flamengo won the first game 0:2, so even with a defeat by 1 goal they would qualify here.

Too high odds for Flamingo's opponent. Flamengo has a great squad with many good players and coach, but are in a terrible moment. There are some problems inside the club. Two weeks ago one member of the staff (Pablo Fernández) had a fight with striker Pedro. Both ended in the Police station and the member of the staff was fired. All the players were with Pedro, pushing for the firing of the staff member. So the environment between the staff and players is terrible.

Just after that incident, Flamengo lost in the Libertadores against Olimpia in ⅛ finals, being eliminated from that tournament. That was a big blow for a team who were defending the title in the Libertadores.

And this week, there was another fight. Players Gerson and Guillermo had a fight and Gerson broke Guimmerlo’s noise, who ended up in the hospital.

There are also rumours that players are trying to push for the departure of coach Sampaoli and his staff, because the situation is very tense. With a defeat in this game, depending if Flamengo manages to qualify or not, this could be done.

The team is in a terrible moment due to the high amount of internal problems, and this is being shown in the field. They are winless in the last three games, with two defeats and only one draw in the league game this weekend scoring at 96’ from penalty. Their performances have been terrible and surely the internal problems they have are one of the reasons.

On the other hand, Gremio has a very solid squad, with very experienced players like Luis Suarez. They are 3rd in the Serie A (one position above Flamingo), just one point below Palmeiras who is 2nd. Their first leg against Flamengo was terrible and were totally outplayed, but they have potential to do it much better.

Gremio is a team totally able to play in the same conditions as any other Brazilian team, as shown this season in the regular league.

Flamengo would be favorites in normal circumstances, but their current moment is terrible, the worst in years. With such a large number of problems inside the club, between players, players and staff… They aren’t 100% focused in the games and the recent results are the best example of that. Furthermore, the fact that they have a two goal advantage makes the situation even more difficult, as they won’t play with the necessary intensity and motivation.

If Gremio makes a good match, they can take advantage of Flamengo’s situation and win this match.

巴西杯半决赛。弗拉门戈队以0:2赢得了第一场比赛，所以即使只输了1球，他们也能晋级。

对火烈鸟的对手来说，赔率太高了。弗拉门戈有一个伟大的阵容，有很多优秀的球员和教练，但现在正处于一个糟糕的时刻。俱乐部内部有些问题。两周前，一名工作人员(Pablo Fernández)和前锋佩德罗打了一架。两起事件都发生在警察局，该名工作人员被解雇。所有的球员都支持佩德罗，要求解雇那个工作人员。所以工作人员和球员之间的环境很糟糕。

就在那次事件之后，弗拉门戈队在解放者队的决赛中输给了奥林匹亚队，被淘汰出局。对于一支在解放者队卫冕冠军的球队来说，这是一个沉重的打击。

这周，又发生了一场争吵。球员Gerson和Guillermo发生了争执，Gerson打破了Guimmerlo的噪音，后者最终被送进了医院。

还有传言说球员们正试图让教练桑保利和他的工作人员离开，因为情况非常紧张。如果这场比赛失利，取决于弗拉门戈能否出线，这一切都有可能实现。

由于大量的内部问题，这支球队正处于一个可怕的时刻，这在球场上得到了体现。在最近的三场比赛中，他们一胜未得，在本周末的联赛中，他们2负1平，在点球大战中打进96分。他们的表现很糟糕，当然他们的内部问题也是原因之一。

另一方面，格雷米奥有一个非常稳定的阵容，有像苏亚雷斯这样经验丰富的球员。他们在意甲排名第三(比火烈鸟高一个位置)，只比排名第二的帕尔梅拉斯低一分。他们对弗拉门戈的首回合踢得很糟糕，完全被击败了，但他们有潜力做得更好。

格雷米奥是一支完全有能力在和其他巴西球队一样的条件下踢球的球队，正如本赛季在常规联赛中所展示的那样。

在正常情况下，弗拉门戈队是最受欢迎的，但他们目前的情况很糟糕，是近年来最糟糕的。俱乐部内部、球员之间、球员和工作人员之间存在这么多问题……他们并没有100%专注于比赛，最近的结果就是最好的例子。此外，他们拥有两个进球优势的事实使情况变得更加困难，因为他们不会带着必要的强度和动力比赛。

如果格雷米奥打得好，他们可以利用弗拉门戈的情况赢得这场比赛。
