i don't understand many things happen in AFC , for example Asia is the only continent that divide teams participating in main tournaments geographically , as east and west teams can't meet each other till the final , the only continent preventing whole countries from taking part in Champions league , only 11 countries out of 47 are allowed to participate in CL , and the biggst invention is preferring players playing in Asia on others playing in Europe who only get meaningless international player of the year prize , u can imagine Asian Legendary Park Ji Sung former Man UTD star has never won this prize

The Coach of GREMIO is Renato "Gaúcho" Portaluppi, now become more than a Hero for the Tricolor's fans (Gremio supporters)  

He has already won, as a player, Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup (both in 1983).

In Final of Intercontinetantal Cup scored two goals and defeated HSV 2-1.

 

He also played in Italy with Rome (season 88/89 , 23 matches 0 goals) but "without luck" : he is more remembered instead than what he showed on the pitch . He came in italy as a great Brazilian players, and for the presentation at the fans and the press arrived with helicopter!!

The following year is back in Brazil.....
