elhinchadelsurInternacional: Renan; Nei, Bolivar, Rodrigo, Kleber; Bolatti, Guinazu, Andrezinho, D'Alessandro; Rafael Sobis, Leandro Damiao.
Gremio: Victor; Gabriel, Rafael Marques, Rodolfo, Neuton; Fabio Rochemback, Adilson, Douglas, Lucio; Leandro, Borges.

Well, a great classic. The city of Porto Alegre will stop if these teams confront each other in the quarter-finals of Copa Libertadores. Let's see the tatics:
Internacional will play in a 4-4-2, with D'Alessandro being the center of the plays, and Leandro Damiao, the focus to the conclusion. They'll have support by the plays of Bolatti, Guinazu, Andrezinho and Rafael Sobis. In the defence, Kleber and Nei will support the attack, while they'll look back to the defence.

Gremio will play in a 4-4-2 diamond. Borges will be the focus of the conclusion, as well as the player who will call the attention of the Internacional's defenders. Douglas will articulate the plays, as well as Lucio. Fabio Rochemback and Adilson will also defend, and attack. Gabriel will look forward to the attack, trying to create a good side play at the right flanc, while Neuton will more defend, than attack.

Comparing player by player:

Goalkeepers: Renan < Victor
Defenders: Bolivar > Rafael Marques
Rodrigo < Rodolfo
Side Backs (Right side): Nei < Gabriel
Side Backs (Left side): Kleber > Neuton
Midfielders: Bolatti = Fabio Rochemback
Guinazu > Adilson
Andrezinho < Douglas
D'Alessandro > Lucio
Strikers: Rafael Sobis = Leandro
Leandro Damiao = Borges

Conclusion: If the game actually happen, it will be an enthusiastic game. No one can preview what's going to happen. It's a classic, one of the biggest classics world wide. Every wrong decision, every piece of luck, as well as every piece of talent and wish to win the game, could change all the story. Well, who wins? All the people who loves football.

elhinchadelsurIn my opinion, it's not fair putting Andrezinho and Douglas in the same level, just if Douglas plays a 'sleepy' game. About Sobis, sure he has a great past at the grass, but nowadays, coming back from injury, and just now being a regular team player with Falcao, in my opinion Sobis and Leandro are in the same level, Leandro who's playing a great level football usually. Bolatti has a great football, is a good passer, and know to defend, as well as attack; but Fabio Rochemback is not just a good player, as he's an important leader to Gremio. But, Rodrigo at the same level as Rodolfo? This I can't agree. If you said Indio = Rodolfo, so I could agree, but Rodrigo is so unregular. And Damiao, well, he's in a better level nowadays, but both Borges and Damiao can decide a game. And sure, I wanna listen to your opinion.

Cheers!

MBatistussiDouglas is better than Andrezinho, but no one plays good recently, for this I've said Andrezinho = Douglas. Sóbis isn't playing well now, but is a winner player, and in a Libertadores, he can decide a match, like he did last year against Chivas, when he was backing from a injury too. Leandro is a young player, I'm not sure he can support a pression from a quarter-finals of Libertadores. Rockemback is a great player, but Bolatti, in my opinion, is the better defensive midfielder playing in a American team. Rodrigo start the year playing very bad, worst than Indio, our worst defender, but in the recent games, he is improving him football, playing at Bolívar's level, he's substituting our better defender, Sorondo, very well. Today, Índio isn't in a level to play in Internacional or Gremio, unfortunately.

Victor and Lucio are out from the quarter-finals now, i'm a Internacional supporter, but I would see the complete teams, Victor and Lucio for Gremio and Sorondo for Inter.

Cheers!
