Therefore, it is not only the victory over the Goiás lantern, it is the team presented in recent weeks, with performance and results, which makes Grêmio nominate the three titles of the season. Tricolor and Palmeiras are the only ones that continue to compete in all the 2020 competitions.
– It’s good to know that 45 days ago I said that Grêmio, with all the players, would take off, would arrive at competitions. Many people were talking nonsense. And these people are gone, right. Our goal is to win, win, win. No matter the competition. Many people say that Grêmio did not love the Brazilian, but he has nothing to say – Renato stressed.
I want to earn more. Since I arrived I said that Grêmio would leave the queue (without titles) and the fans would stop suffering. It is looking for at least one title in the three competitions.

Remember, preservations and Jean Pyerre
In the victory over Goiás, Renato completed 384 games at the helm of Grêmio. He defeated Oswaldo Rolla, Foguinho, and will increase the advantage in this ranking.
With the decisive clash of the Libertadores round of 16 next Thursday, against Guaraní-PAR, the coach had the luxury of preserving Pepê and Darlan.
But it featured an inspired Jean Pyerre. The number 10 scored the first goal, on a mistake by Tadeu, he found a decisive pass for Luiz Fernando to make Maicon happy to score the second and dictated the rhythm of the team.

In the middle of the second half, Renato took the opportunity to preserve other players, such as Luiz Fernando, Diego Souza and Víctor Ferraz. Maicon, who returned from injury, also left early.
With the change of mindset and the understanding of putting all the players on the field week after week, Renato can now show that his group has quality. In the midfield, for example, are Matheus Henrique, Darlan, Maicon and Lucas Silva. Pinares and Churín arrived as alternatives for the offensive sector.
Pepê still lacks a suitable substitute. But Luiz Fernando made up for Alisson’s absence, about to return and embody the group more. In defense, it has been rare that Geromel and Kannemann acted together.
Grêmio opens December with the decision against Guaraní, on Thursday, in the second round of the Libertadores. After winning 2-0 in Paraguay, the Rio Grande do Sul team can lose by a goal that will qualify. In the Brasileirão, Tricolor plays on Sunday, at 4:00 p.m., against Vasco, in the Arena.
