+ Renato bets on Grêmio in the fight for the title: “Bring money”

The first half, in particular, was the absolute domain of the gauchos. So much so that Grêmio scored three goals in 45 minutes, something that had not happened since September 26 of last year, in the 6-1 victory over Avaí, also for Brasileirão.

Today Grêmio has 33 points and is the 7th with a game to play, one behind Santos, the sixth, who has an extra commitment. Atlético-MG is the leader, with 38 and the same number of games for the Rio Grande do Sul team. LOS the distance to the tip was already 13 points, when Inter were 34, on matchday 17, and Grêmio, 21. Now he’s five points in round 21.

– The most important thing is that Grêmio has risen in production, achieving victories, is reaching the forefront, it is our goal. It is to keep working. Many people back there thought nonsense – said Renato Portaluppi.

Jean Pyerre put the game under the heels of his boot and commanded the Tricolor. But Darlan and Matheus Henrique had their loyal squires, all trained at the club. Jean and Darlan, included, in the club since the Training School. Besides the trio, Pepê also started and graduated in the under 20s.

Grêmio had the ball and made his transitions with many short touches and position changes. Luiz Fernando opened as a wing for Víctor Ferraz to circulate inside. Jean stepped back and saw Matheus occupy the line. Pepê was also free to create in between.

Even Diego Souza participated in the creation outside the area. Grêmio’s stance on the opponent is another novelty. Jean Pyerre opened the scoring with a free kick. Here’s a detail: goalkeeper Paulo Víctor gave the clue for the kick to come out of Fernando Prass’s side. It worked. That at 19 minutes.

At 32, Grêmio would expand. Darlan, in high pressure, forced the error of the defense; in fact, the midfielder had six tackles in the game, the highest number on the team. Jean Pyerre takes the ball and is calmly with Luiz Fernando. The cross goes down so that Pepê goes to the nets.

Seven minutes later, Diego Souza would do the third. Jean Pyerre presses a live ball from the right side of Grêmio’s defense. Win on the side and do the fast loading. Luiz Fernando makes the individual play and serves the center forward. Earlier, Ceará had kicked Kelvyn’s kick.

Grêmio took advantage of the mistakes of his opponents very well. And, quickly, always looking for the goal of Prass. In addition to the three goals in the initial stage, for example, there were also occasions with Jean Pyerre, Diego Souza and Víctor Ferraz.

Within the sequence of seven consecutive victories, Grêmio has another performance in the match with Fluminense also valued by coach Renato Portaluppi. And, not by chance, with Darlan, Matheus and Jean Pyerre in the starting lineup.

Before mentioned by Renato constantly, the articulation problem was solved with the return of Jean, who, justice be done, had no physical conditions to play. It does not go through Thacianos or Robinhos, but through young people trained in the club.

Naturally, the team slowed down in the second half to manage the lead on the scoreboard. But the second half reserved Churín’s first goal with Grêmio’s shirt. In a short corner kick, something from Renato, Jean Pyerre put it on the Argentine’s head.

In the end Ceará would still score another goal and have the possibility to decrease even more, if it weren’t for Vanderlei. But for Grêmio the message continues to be what to do from now on and that the quality of training is the solution to problems, when they arise.
