It has all the makings of a great game, but the truth is that neither team is at their best," Abel analyzed in an interview with GE.
The coach also highlighted the strengths of each team: "I hope it's a great game. Both Flamengo and Inter have the squads to put on a great show. Flamengo, with their usual high-pressing . Inter, with their surprising passing from one side to the other, especially with Wesley. It's hard to imagine Flamengo man-marking Alan Patrick," he concluded.
