At the opening of the lap, a positive result on Rio de Janeiro soil still serves for the team to consolidate once and for all the “takeoff” promised by Renato Portaluppi at the Brasileirão. And the union plane, in fact, seems to be on the runway, about to take flight.

10 points are added in the last 12 in dispute. The last defeat was for Santos, 2-1, in Vila Belmiro, on October 11, by the Brazilian.

Since then, Grêmio has notched back-to-back victories, even with poor performances. So much so that he arrives at the game this Sunday 28 days without losing a game.

There are seven games for Brasileirão, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil, with five wins and two draws. In this sequence, the team defends a series of four consecutive victories for the first time this season..

> Grêmio’s winning streak in 2020:

• Four wins, once:
  –Athletico-PR 1×2 Grêmio (Brasileirão); Grêmio 1×0 Juventude (Copa do Brasil); Grêmio 2×1 Bragantino (Brasileirão); and Youth 0x1 Grêmio (Copa do Brasil).
• Three wins, three times:
  – Brasil de Pelotas 0x1 Grêmio; Grêmio 2×1 São José; and Grêmio 5×0 Esportivo (all, for Gauchão)
  – Grêmio 3×0 Juventude (Gauchão); America de Cali 0x2 Grêmio (Libertadores); and Balls 0x1 Grêmio (Gauchão).
  – Grêmio 4×3 Novo Hamburgo; Grêmio 2×0 Inter (both for Gauchão); and Grêmio 1×0 Fluminense (Brasileirão).

This sequence boosts the campaign in Brasileirão and brings Grêmio closer to the G-4. Tricolor has 27 points, with one game to play. This Sunday’s rival is fourth, with 32 points.

In other words: Grêmio can reduce the distance to Libertadores’ direct qualifying zone to two points, with the possibility of overtaking the rival in the pending match against Goiás, but President Romildo Bolzan adopts a thoughtful speech.

– Is not sufficient. I would cover the sun with a strainer. The football that Grêmio has shown is not to win a championship, but it is a squad perfectly capable of being a champion. It has an old base. We are not convinced by the football we have presented, but when football fits we can face it – said the official.

To defend these brands, coach Renato is still analyzing whether or not he will save some players against the Flu. After all, the starters played three games in a row.

The coach must be attentive to the duel with Cuiabá, next Wednesday, at the Arena Pantanal, for the first match of the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup. The truth is that Maicon, injured, and Lucas Silva, suspended, will soon be out of the game.
