Grêmio is the Copa Libertadores Champion in 2017 

Post#1 » by Nbafanatic » Thu Nov 30, 2017 6:05 am

Congratulations Grêmio!! Grêmio has just conquered its third Libertadores title. The other two were in 1983 and 1995. Of course that Brazilian soccer is not what it used to be, but Grêmio offered somewhat of a revival of the good old days with its recent display of soccer. The team has two players that will soon be in some great European rosters: Take notice about midfielders Arthur and Luan. Both should be on Brazil's world cup roster next year. Take a look on the best South American team of 2017, and follow them now in December, on the World Cup Club Championship. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah, they kind of were. Lanus was better in the first half of the first game in Brazil, but then Grêmio adjusted his high lane man guarding in the second half of the first game and in the first half of the final game. As Lanus play with his goalkeeper initiating the offense like a "libero," Grêmio was able to successfully disrupt their offense rhythm and force errors. Lanus is a very organized team with some good talent, but Grêmio has a bit more offensive firepower on the offense, with a good passing system.
