history will be written by a Gre-Nal

Mano Menezes and your future in International. This subject will be discussed regardless of the Gre-Nal result, but different ways can be approached about the classic. This Sunday, the 21st, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), shortly after the referee of the match finalized the confrontation between the two giants in the gremista arena, the sequence of the coach in colorado will be defined, either to stay or to end a passage that almost ended in a Brazilian title.

Gre-Nal is usually a turning point for both teams and the proof of that will be in this round of the Brasileirão. In a complicated phase in the 2023 season, Mano Menezes sees his work gradually deteriorating. The team even manages to generate chances, but does not conclude in the way that is necessary and consequently the victory does not arrive. In this way, for him to remain at the club, the ball will have to enter the rival goal and the defense will need to avoid conceding goals.

These two factors, as they are decisive for any match, will be even more so in this Sunday’s Gre-Nal, the 21st. . Of the last five games, the team scored twice and in just one game, against Nacional, for Libertadores, on May 3rd.

It’s been 18 days and Internacional fans don’t know what it’s like to shout “goal”. Since the game against the Uruguayans, the team entered the field in four more opportunities and did not score in any of them, on the contrary. If you analyze these last five matches, Colorado scored few goals, but conceded many, there were ten. That is, an average of two goals conceded per game.

This feature draws attention, as Mano Menezes’ teams don’t usually carry this with them. In this way, Gre-Nal will be more decisive than ever. Alexandre Barcellos himself, president of the club, after the defeat to América-MG, last Wednesday, the 17th, admitted that the performance in the classic will weigh on the sequence of his current coach.

Including, after the 2-0 in Belo Horizonte, Mano Menezes met with the management and stayed a little over an hour in the meeting. After the meeting, the two parties announced the sequence, but left between the lines that Gre-Nal could be a final or ignition point in the red and white season and also in the continuity of the technician in Beira-Rio.
