Flamengo and Corinthians decide the Brazilian Cup
Flamengo and Corinthians decide the Copa do Brasil. The teams with the biggest fan bases in the country will decide the Copa do Brasil.
One representative from Rio de Janeiro, another representative from São Paulo, this is how the Copa do Brasil decision will take place.
Both will arrive with a lot of confidence to this final, Flamengo won both games against São Paulo.
Meanwhile, Corinthians drew away and thrashed Fluminense in São Paulo, the teams are deservingly reaching the final.
There is no doubt about favoritism in the semi-final, both Flamengo and Corinthians arrived as favorites for these games.
Flamengo and Corinthians decide Copa do Brasil, the highlight goes to the midfielders
At first, in the games between São Paulo and Flamengo, the expectation was about Pedro and Gabriel Barbosa.
But the ones who stole the show were Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro, with João Gomes. What is this midfield of the Flamengo team?
It's impressive how they move, both in the game in São Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro, the quality of this midfield was demonstrated.
Not just with the goals, but with the movement. It's a team that can score, even with players who don't have this characteristic.
Coach Dorival Júnior managed to get this team right, the movement between the players is intense.
Gabriel Barbosa coming out of the area more, opening space for Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro to infiltrate.
In addition to Pedro's intelligence, when he couldn't play against strong marking, he opened up space or provided assists for goals.
Indeed, a team that knows how to play football that is beautiful to watch. São Paulo managed to do little.
Renato Augusto plays great
In the Corinthians team, I would like to highlight the quality of the athlete Renato Augusto. How he changes the level of the Corinthians team.
Impressive, the goal he scored is not the first he has scored, shooting from outside the area.
The Corinthians team loses a lot when he can't be on the field, he gives the team dynamism, in addition to the quality he has with the ball at his feet.
We can say that Renato Augusto is the main player of this Corinthians team. Alongside goalkeeper Cássio, he brings a lot of security to the team.
The defensive system managed to work well, even with the moments when Fluminense managed to put pressure on.
In this way, Flamengo and Corinthians decide the Copa do Brasil, arriving confidently at this final.
Who is the favorite for this final?
Flamengo is experiencing an incredible moment, accumulating victories in the championships.
Being able to be champion of the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores da América, while in the Brazilian championship it is still far from Palmeiras.
In the Brazilian championship, the Palmeiras team is still in the lead, with an advantage of being 9 points ahead of Flamengo.
Palmeiras has a 10-point advantage over Corinthians, with 12 games remaining until the end of the Brazilian Championship.
There are 36 points still up for grabs, and both Flamengo and Corinthians can still reach the finals. Palmeiras just needs to lose a few games, which has been difficult so far.
However, Flamengo and Corinthians will decide the Copa do Brasil, which will be held on October 12th and 19th.
Both are very strong, the match promises to be balanced. Let's see who will celebrate after the game on October 19th.
