+ Renato wears Argentina shirt in honor of Maradona
The Grêmio coach entered the Defensores del Chaco field with the Argentine national team jersey and Maradona’s name on the back. On Wednesday he had already recorded a video to honor his friend. Both played in the same period in Italian football, at the end of the 80s.
– I would like to honor my great friend Maradona. I paid tribute to him by wearing his shirt, a great friend that I lost. The world has lost a genius, a legend, it is a day that I am very sad. I dedicate the victory to Dieguito. Every time I spoke to him, he was a great friend, we had a great time together. May God comfort the family – Renato said.

On the field, the Rio Grande do Sul team beat Guaraní with some ease, especially due to their performance in the second half. Jean Pyerre and Pepê scored the goals that gave peace of mind for the second leg next week. Although Renato guarantees that he will keep his players competitive.
– We started thinking about the second leg on Wednesday. Tomorrow (Friday) I think about the Brazilian’s game, with Goiás (Monday), another decision for us. Let’s forget about the advantage in Paraguay. There are another 90 minutes on the way back, ”Renato said.
The union squad wins clearance this Friday and will play again on Monday, against Goiás, in the Arena, in a delayed match on the sixth day of Brasileirão. The return to Guaraní will be on Thursday, also in Porto Alegre. Tricolor may even lose on a goal difference that advances to the Libertadores quarter-finals.
