Flamengo is the most popular team in Brazil. They suffered a lot since their success in the 80s but have now made a comeback. As with Corinthians they are trying to emulate European club business model by generating revenue from big name contracts Ronaldinho as an example. In Rio they are the equivalent of Corinthians. They are a team of the people. Vasco da Gama is the team associated with Portuguese people. This is Romario's team.
They were pretty good in the late 90s early s but I think are a little down right now. Fluminense is Sao Paulo's version in Rio. They are a team with middle-upper class fan base. Cruzeiro as Palmeiras have an Italian identity. I think they used to be called Palestra Italia back in the day as well. They have been playing a nice brand of offensive football in the last 10 years and are pretty stable. Internacional is a team that has done pretty well for themselves in the last 10 years often challenging for the championship and Libertadores spots.
They are a club of the people with middle to lower class fan base as I understand it. Gremio is the other big team in Rio Grande do Sul typically associated with fans of German background. Historically Gremio and Inter have played a more physical style of football emphasizing hard work ethic. I left out Botafogo and Atletico because I am not as familiar with them and they haven't been that prominent lately.
In Brazil you have to deal with the reality that, unlike in Europe, no manager or player lasts too long in a team. You would think good managers would last on a team, but not even the best do. They move around almost every year and often coach the same team different times. In terms of relegation, no team is really safe. In the last 20 years the safest team I think has been Sao Paulo. Don't really remember them battling relegation zone deep into the season.
Every other team on this least has probably been in that position at one time or another in the last 2 decades. Celito thanks for that! You all have been really helpful, you have no idea. You all really help put things in perspective. Watched the Gremio - Corinthians match Great goal by Liedson. Couldn't really make out that stereotypical Rio Grande Do Sul style from that match, though I was looking for it.
Both teams seemed short on ideas. So far I'm leaning away from Corinthians. Sorry Timao fans. Not sure yet, but the jersey does nothing for me. Like that they are affiliated with lower social economic class though, didn't know that.
Not really feeling Inter or Gremio, to be honest. Flamengo was great in the second half of their match. Ronaldinho coming back into form? I've heard bad things about Flamengos directors in terms of corruption, is that a thing of the past? Not that Berlusconi is a saint, but thats strictly unfootball related. In , they finally won their third Brasileirao after a year drought and quickly added another in on the back of a strong collective topped off with two star players.
Backed by their sponsors, Unimed, Fluminense recruited former Barcelona and Chelsea star Deco and ex-Lyon striker Fred to their cause, in a manner similar to Chelsea's big spending after the arrival of Roman Abramovich. Fluminense are also well supported by their superb youth development programme, producing the likes of Wellington Nem and Wallace, as well as those who were poached at an early age such as the Da Silva twins at Manchester United.
With a strong team in place, the Tricolor stormed to two titles in three years and under the leadership of Abel Braga, are well placed to add another in Cruzeiro are an unfortunate team, often possessing excellent players but never quite within reach of domestic glory. Very much like Tottenham then, who have a long-standing tradition to shoot themselves in the foot every time they come within touching distance of success. Cruzeiro last enjoyed success in , but before that you'd have to go all the way back to for their last league title, although they've become cup experts with four Copa do Brasils in ten years between and With a host excellent players in recent years such as Ramires, Alex, Luisao, Maicon and, most famously, Ronaldo, Cruzeiro have had plenty of talent who have all excelled abroad with European clubs.
Unfortunately for Cruzeiro though, they've never quite cobbled all these players together at the same time in order to build a team that could sustain a period of success.
Tottenham fans will be nodding as they recall the likes of Luka Modric, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick who have all passed through White Hart Lane without ever being part of a successful Spurs side.
