Pepê’s invincibility and drive: five reasons to believe in Grêmio in Gre-Nal | Guild

Along with the positive record against Inter, give gives other reasons to believe that Grêmio will reach the eleventh Gre-Nal without defeat. Check it out below:

The unbeaten streak is precisely the first reason to maintain the conviction of victory in Grêmio. Renato Portaluppi’s team I haven’t lost for 10 classics and he has yet to concede an Inter goal in 2020: there are five games, four wins and a draw.

It is more than clear that Grêmio knows how to face all the peculiarities of a Gre-Nal. And that creates the image of an experienced and tough team to beat Inter this Saturday.

– The classic is always important for our career, for the city. Even more so because of the somewhat bad situation that we find ourselves at the table. We need to have a reaction. It is very important to us, we need victory. We can’t wait until later – says goalkeeper Vanderlei.

Gre-Nal starts a series of five consecutive matches at Brasileirão without other parallel competitions. In 15th place with 13 points, Grêmio needs to recover in Serie A. It’s easy to think about it now.

Because it comes in the qualifying for the knockout stages of the Libertadores. With the victories in Gre-Nal and against the Catholic University, Grêmio consolidated himself in Group E and gave an injection of spirit into the environment. In addition, he discarded challenges to work.

– We were happy with our qualification in the Libertadores round of 16, it was the goal and we achieved it. We have a goal now in the Brazilian, in the Brazil Cup, we can look for all three. Let’s go with the mentality of the other games to win three points – says midfielder Matheus Henrique.

Since the beginning of the year, Renato has sought a solution for moments without a creative sock. So you set the midfielder with three defensive midfielders, at 4-1-4-1, to make the sector more protected. After the defeat of the Catholics, in Chile, the commander adopted the change.

Since then, they have drawn with Palmeiras, beat Inter and Católica himself and lost to leader Atlético-MG. The team grew and improved their performances. This Saturday, he still sees Maicon return with a chance to even start Gre-Nal.

“It is a variation that our team has. In the last games, the tripod is working, and the teacher is repeating for that matter” (Matheus Henrique)

The Grêmio team had the individuality of Everton as one of their weapons, even within the collective scheme. Why Pepê walks to occupy this space he left with the sale of chives. There are four goals in the last five games in which he was on the field, one of them to decide the Gre-Nal da Libertadores.

The attacker’s good timing becomes an important weapon for Grêmio. If the mechanics are not completely adjusted, there is a player who can define the score on his characteristic.

Invicta Series as Main

In 2020, Grêmio won more classics as a visitor: two in Beira-Rio and one in Centenário, in Caxias do Sul.

But within his domain, Grêmio has not lost to his rival since 2014. Ssix years without losing at home in 13 classics played, the greatest invincibility of a client in the history of the Gre-Nais.
