Grêmio has always known how to face the most serious moments with the necessary dignity. Regardless of the time and the championship, he competed until the last second. But in the 2-0 loss to Universidad Católica, this Wednesday night, at the San Carlos de Apoquindo Stadium, there was no response. HE increases pressure on managers and technical committee.
Two professionals have been in their sights for a few weeks and could end up fired from Grêmio: physical trainer Márcio Meira and executive Klauss Câmara. Internal disputes are not new. And they can change their attitude this Thursday or after the Gre-Nal next Wednesday.
There is the possibility of leaving both names, but it may not happen immediately because of the Libertadores classic. Still, the ge found that the pressure intensifies with each bad day, for different reasons, and is at its highest level of the year. Even with the promise to protest the return of the delegation to Porto Alegre.

Wednesday night was terrible for Grêmio in Chile. From the first seconds of the game to the end, a team controlled and tied by Universidad Católica, playing its fifth game after the stoppage due to the new coronavirus pandemic.
Tricolor was on the 17th date. And it got off to its worst start in 2020, just when it usually grew up, at important times.
– Sometimes we need to change the schedule a bit due to absences. Players are at odds on the field due to lack of interaction. It’s not easy to play without seven or eight – Renato justified.
More than 70% possession of the ball for the Chileans and a superiority of the rival rarely seen in a Libertadores game with Renato in command – except, of course, the 5-0 that Flamengo suffered last year.
Grêmio had the ball after eight minutes of the game, according to statistics from TV Globo, compared to 28 for Católica. 265 passes were exchanged, less than half of the 556 for Chileans and 59 incomplete. When asked about possible changes, the technician asked for calm.
“Now he is very calm at that time, you have to think, work, recover the players who are in the medical department” (Renato)

Much more than the action of making the unionists fear for the future, there are consequences. Pedro Geromel left the game with pain. Another problem for Grêmio’s already full medical department.
The goals came just after the defender’s departure, at the end of the first half. Almost immediately upon the entry of Rodrigues instead of the captain, Zampedri opened the scoring. Piñares made the second two minutes later, with a hat on Vanderlei.
The Grêmio returns from Santiago this Thursday afternoon on a chartered flight. There is mobilization on social networks to protest fans at the airport. On Sunday, Tricolor will face Palmeiras, in the Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
