Palmeiras Fight

At last weeks game against Gremio from Rio Grande do Sul two of Palmeiras players started to argue with one another wich resulted in a fight. Obina which is Palmeiras best striker started to argue with Palmeiras defender Mauricio Santos due to the fact that when gremios striker Maxi Lopes was entering Palmeiras area and he was about to score Mauricio Santos stopped marking him because he thought that the player was offside. Obina got really mas and started to argue with the defender. Mauricio Santos started to insult Obina and Palmeiras striked punched Mauricio Santos in the face and they started to fight during the game. Both players were fired right after the game. Obina went back to his old club in Rio de Janeiro which is Flamengo and since Mauricio Santos had contract with Palmeiras since 2012 the team decided to keep him until his contract lenght reaches. Palmeiras coach Muricy Ramalho said in the interview that both players were very imature and at this point in the tournament the team needs to be together always. Due to this fight the teams confidence dropped a lot and Palmeiras needed to win that game if they still wanted to become champions. Palmeiras still has a minnimum chance of becoming champios but Palmeiras needs to win the two last games ant the first three teams has to loose their game. I think that it is really hard for Palmeiras to win.
