Grêmio and Flamengo if face each other, this Sunday (22), in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. While Rubro-Negro is focusing on the Libertadores, the tricolor from Rio Grande do Sul is preparing to face Mais Querido. For the match at Arena do Grêmio, at 6:30 pm, Renato Portaluppi's team must have a new defense duo; Kannemann and Jemerson.
The two players have already played together on two occasions, against Fluminense, in the round of 16 match of the Libertadores, and against Vasco, in the Brasileirão. However, Grêmio played in a tactical scheme with three defenders, with Rodrigo Ely completing the defensive trio. The defender must be absent after an injury suffered at the beginning of the month. Kannemann returns to the team after serving his suspension.
Gustavo Martins also returns for the same reason, and should remain on the bench. Natã, Geromel and former Flamengo player Rodrigo Caio are also defensive options for the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
Grêmio coach, Renato Gaúcho, will not be on the side of the pitch for the game against Flamengo. This is because the coach was punished with a four-match suspension, after leaving the field before the final whistle, in the 4th round of the Brazilian Championship, against Bahia. The sentence was even greater, as Renato ordered the players to repeat the action.
With this, the assistant, Alexandre Mendes, will be in charge of the team against Rubro-Negro. In the first round, Flamengo won 2-1, with two goals from Luiz Araújo, in June. Mengão was leading the competition. Currently, Rubro-Negro occupies fourth place, with 44 points in 24 matches. The team from Rio Grande do Sul is 15th, with 27 points from 23 games.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
