The Brazilian Championship's balance is evident in the results of each round. It's not uncommon to see a team at the bottom of the table defeat a team in the top spot. The Fla-Flu match, with Flamengo in 15th place and Fluminense in 2nd place, last Sunday (September 19.09th) ended in a 3-3 draw.
That's why striker Diogo considers the Brazilian Championship the toughest in the world. With experience playing in European football, wearing the Olympiacos jersey, the Gávea number 43 sees the Brasileirão as an unpredictable competition.
"For me, this championship is the toughest in the world. It's very different from what I played in Europe, balanced, with many teams fighting for the title, with the first-place team losing to the last-place team, and it will be like that until the end. It's up to us to seek victories and treat each game like a final," he said.
Therefore, the center forward expects another complicated and balanced match on Wednesday (22.09), against Grêmio, in Porto Alegre.
"There are no easy games in the Brazilian league, especially away from home. Grêmio is a strong team, also looking to climb the table, with the fans putting a lot of pressure on them in their stadium. It's definitely going to be a tough game," he concluded.
