Golden Greenery

1 In the spring, two groups of British immigrants from Manchester and German immigrants from Hamburg drew a circle in Porto Allegre in the southeastern corner of Brazil.

There they played an English-German match, the first football match in the entire state of Rio Grande do Sul.

The competition had a big impact locally. Eight days later, Gremio Football Club was founded.

In the 1st match, Gremio defeated European champion Hamburg 2:1 in overtime and won the only Intercontinental Cup in team history.

In that Hamburg team, midfielder No. 10 was the later 'devil coach' Magath. They defeated the peak Juventus with Platini, Paolo Rossi, Scirea and Zoff in the Champions League final. .

Before the start of the Intercontinental Cup that year, Gremio's 21-year-old forward Renato Gaucho boasted that he would score a goal with both his left and right feet. He actually did it, and Renato became Gremio's star. A meritorious figure in the history of the Mio team.

201 Renato became the head coach of Gremio for the third time and led the team to win the Copa Libertadores in the following year, becoming the first Brazilian to win the Copa Libertadores as a player and coach. At the end of 2017, Renato led the team to the Club World Cup final.

After taking office last year, Renato promoted young midfielder Arthur in the Gremio echelon. Last season, Arthur performed extremely well and quickly became the absolute main force of the team. He was also named the MVP of the Libertadores Cup. Fans of the "Tricolor Legion" called him "King Arthur".

Barcelona took action. They contacted the 21-year-old Arthur privately in an attempt to avoid the 50 million euros in liquidated damages.

At the beginning of the month, photos of Arthur wearing a Barcelona jersey also appeared in the media, and they were with Roberto Fernandez, who is in charge of first-team transfers with Barcelona, ​​Andre Curry, Barcelona’s representative in Brazil, and Ronaldinho’s agent brother Assi. Take a photo with Si's son Diego Assis. This is obviously an attempt to ask for directions.

However, due to an injury in the Copa Libertadores final and a torn ligament in his left ankle, Arthur needed to recuperate for 45 days and had to miss the Club World Cup.

Not only Arthur, but also midfielder Christian and forward Cicero, who scored a goal in the Copa Libertadores final, were unable to register for the Club World Cup because their registration dates exceeded the deadline stipulated by FIFA. Fortunately, neither of them is the absolute main force of the team, and the impact is not as big as Arthur's absence.

The final was still held at the Saeed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. After all, it was a final, and it had the title of 'World Champion'. Guardiola lined up the entire main lineup to serve his opponent.

Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Delph, Fitting, Zhuo Yang, Jesus, Sterling.

Coach Renato's bench is very thin, far less thick than Manchester City's, and he doesn't have many options.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe has never left Gremio in his life. During the Dunga period, he was selected for the national team twice.

The 32-year-old right back Edilson Mendes has never left Brazil in his life. Before the game, he said that the game against Manchester City was the most important game in his life.

The 32-year-old center back captain Pedro Jeromel was once a defender of Cologne in the Bundesliga and once attracted the attention of Real Madrid. But after four years at Cologne, he was loaned to La Liga Mallorca and later to Gremio before making the move permanent last January.

The 25-year-old Argentine center back Walter Kannemann has Italian nationality.

But he has never been to Italy and prefers the Premier League.

The 31-year-old left-back Bruno Cortez played for the underdog Niigata Swans in the J-League for the past two years. It is worth mentioning that his substitute name in the team at that time was quite domineering-Dancing Dragon James (Dancing Dragon James).龙ジェームズ). This guy is a naturalized player from New Zealand, whose real name is Michael James. He is expected to represent Japan in next year's World Cup.

The 28-year-old Michel dos Santos was the team's main midfielder before Arthur's rise. Today he just went over the starting feeling. After all, Arthur will definitely not be retained.

The 22-year-old iron waist Jairson became famous earlier than Arthur. He became the main player in Chapecoense when he was less than 20 years old. It was the same Chapecoense where the plane crash occurred in November last year, but Jairson had already returned to Gremio when the accident occurred.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder/shadow forward Luan and Arthur are the team's dual core. When he shined in the Sao Paulo Cup seven years ago, he was hailed as the 'New Kaka' by the Brazilian media.

However, Gremio's former head coach Scolari believed that Luan was too weak and never reused him. It was not until Scolari resigned and went to Guangzhou in 2015 that Luan finally made his mark.

Luan said that he most wanted to go to AC Milan and Real Madrid, because that is where Kaká played.

Former Evergrande player and 33-year-old Paraguayan forward Barrios is at the forefront of the striker. Seven years ago in South Africa, he made Zhuo Yang's Chinese team concede the first goal of the World Cup.

The left winger is called Fernando, and he is the same age as Manchester City Fernando. Fernandinho is a commonly used name in the Latin American world. In order to distinguish him, today we call him "Fernandian Nu" according to the Guangdong title, or Feinu for short. Fei Nu is going to Chongqing and has almost made contact.

The 25-year-old right midfielder Ramiro Benetti is a descendant of Italian immigrants - just look at this surname and you will know that he has Italian nationality, but he has also not been there. The 'been' here means that I haven't played football yet.

Short in stature and good in skills, Ramiro is known as the ‘Port Messi’ in Brazil. This title is indeed more reliable than Zhuo Yang calling Lao Wu 'Sanqiao Messi'.

Sanqiao is a town in the western suburbs of Xi'an adjacent to Xianyang. It is also the western gateway of Xi'an. It was called this name during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The factory where Lao Wu worked was located there.

Gremio has an advantage over Manchester City in that the Brazilian League does not celebrate the New Year. From February to April every year, Brazilian states concentrate on completing various types of cup competitions, and the Brazilian League intensively completes 38 rounds of league games from May to early December.

December every year and January of the following year are basically the period of repair for the Brazilian team, so Gremio is very well prepared and physically reserved for the Club World Cup.

At this time, Manchester City can only keep their heads down and fight one after another in the dense schedule. They just see who is playing and beat whom. They have no time to look up and have no time to prepare in a targeted manner.

At this time 34 years ago, forward Renato Gaucho said before the game: I will score a goal with each foot.

He did it.

Today, 34 years later, head coach Renato Gaucho said before the game: Manchester City is not invincible, and our quick counterattack will definitely surprise Manchester City.

Whether as a player or a coach, Renato was very confident, but he never mentioned his only experience in Europe.

12-scorer Renato moved to Serie A Roma, but was squeezed out by the three powerful strikers Voller, Giannini, and Massaro and had to be a substitute in the midfield wing. He played 23 times in one season. Without scoring, he returned to Brazil and never left the country again.

What I want to talk about here is Giuseppe Giannini, who was the ‘Prince of Rome’ before Totti and also played as the ninth and a half. Giannini was Totti's idol, but was later usurped by Totti and had to leave Roma.

Although Renato did not score in Serie A, on the 1st, in the first leg of the second round of the UEFA Cup, Roma challenged Partizan Belgrade away. Although Roma lost 2:4, Renato scored his first goal in Europe. The only goal.

In the second half, center back Jia Xiuquan, who came on as a substitute for Guerrillas, received a yellow card for defending Renato. His main task was actually to defend Voller in man-to-man defense.

It was the first time that Chinese players appeared in the three major European Cups, and it was also the first time that Chinese players received yellow cards in the three major cups.
