Juventude – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Parrots” again made their traditional journey between divisions in the previous cycle. Being there, in the Serie B, the team earned the right to return to the top league of the country. At first, the club was picking up points quite briskly.
It was only at the end of June that the problems began: a couple of defeats were followed by a victory over Gremio, but then only 2 points were taken in 4 rounds, including a 1-2 score in the home struggle with Criciuma last weekend. Nevertheless, Internacional was overcome due to an away victory.
Fluminense – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Tricolor” crowned the previous season with a victory in the Copa Libertadores – this is the first such success for the club. Now it seems that it somehow over-celebrated the higher mentioned achievement. After all, if the team managed to confidently win the group in the new Copa draw, then everything went wrong in the Brasileiro, and the grandee fell into the relegation zone.
As a result, the triumphant coach, Fernando Denis, lost his position. And it is reasonable to mention that Mano Menezes did not fix everything automatically either. Things only started to improve at the end of July: there happened the victories in the battles against Cuiaba, Palmeiras and Red Bull Bragantino.
