Analysis: Jean Pyerre changes Grêmio’s face to guarantee himself a place and recovers his morale with Renato | Guild

The midfielder changed the face of the team in the match and it seems to have agreed with the technician Renato Portaluppi to finally recover a sequence.

Grêmio’s sixth consecutive qualification to the Brazilian Cup quarterfinals was already a draw. But the team did not perform well in Alfredo Jaconi. Jean Pyerre came off the bench in the 22nd minute of the second half and showed ability to connect to the team and many reasons to start.

The goal came two minutes after Jean’s entry, with Thaciano chosen at half-time to replace the erased Isaque in the frame. Grêmio also had chances with Jean Pyerre, Diego Souza, Pepê and Everton, the latter on a ball stolen from the midfielder on the offensive field.

The result of this conversation quoted by Renato, judging by what he has seen in Alfredo Jaconi’s field, is very promising for Tricolor. Getting a “boost” from Jean Pyerre’s weight at this point in the season can be crucial, provided he manages to play in sequence – a challenge in 2020.

The technician still does not seem convinced that the boy has recovered 100%. He mentions the physical conditions, as he returns from a muscle problem, and the lack of intensity.

– Unfortunately, (Jean) comes from a sequence of injuries and is not 100%. These games have been taken. If you start right away, you can feel the game. When it is at 30 km / h, 40 km / h, the opponent is at 90 km / h. We’re careful. We are trying to get it back in every way. In no time he is back. When he feels that he is well in the physical and technical part, he will start – Renato declared.

60 minutes of difficulty

The first part of the duel with Juventude last night was of greater volume and presence in the rival offensive field. But Grêmio created two clear chances inside the area, one saved over the line by Nery Bareiro.

The final stage also started with refinements of cruelty and four dangerous plays for Papo until the entrance of the midfielder, in the 22nd minute. The presence of Jean Pyerre shocked the whole team. Obviously, Juventude was scared too, but they only had a stronger game, with Marciel on the left, which Vanderlei defended.

In other words, Grêmio’s creative ability increased and made the team defend better, because he was longer on the ball. Jean Pyerre’s performance becomes the climax of the possibility of recovering the quality touch to the team. The board is still looking for another sock, but ensures that the solution is at home.

– Grêmio is working on the possibility of bringing in (a midfielder), but he is also very confident in the full recovery (of Jean Pyerre). The guard is in the squad, it’s Jean. We tested more players to complement the squad, stressed President Romildo Bolzan Júnior.
