Grêmio’s bad start to the Brazilian Championship worries the fans, but not coach Renato Portaluppi. After the 1-1 draw with Atlético-GO, the coach explained the team’s performance in the 1-1 draw with Atlético-GO, the team’s fifth in the national team. The coach said there is no crisis at the club and avoided insisting on the issue of Thiago Neves, whose contract was terminated.

The tricolor coach’s interview was guided by the convulsive phase the team is going through. In seven games played in the Brazilian Championship, the team only won in the debut. And although they beat Gauchão, they lost 2-1 in the Arena to Caxias. There are already three games without a win and, worse still, with bad team performances.

After seven rounds, Grêmio has eight points. Vasco, who closes the G-4, is 14. For Renato, the distance is not worrying because he trusts the team’s recovery. So much so that he cited the recent conquest of the Gaucho Championship to affirm that the only crisis in the club is that of titles.

– Some people are addicted to seeing Grêmio always well, they believe that they will play well every game and win every competition. He lost two games, he needs to change players and nobody wants to know. The difference for the fourth, fifth place is four or five points. We are very calm. Many players come. All teams have a phase that is some games without winning. This year, whoever won titles, won. This year, nobody else wins anything. In Grêmio there is no crisis. Or rather, there is a crisis, yes. Crisis of values. This is Grêmio’s problem – he said.

The interview also addressed the departure of Thiago Neves. Starting in a 2-1 loss to Sport last Thursday, the midfielder saw President Romildo Bolzan Júnior define for his dismissal the following day. Despite reiterating his affection for the player, the coach avoided getting into controversy and said that the matter is closed.

– There is no use talking and talking about Thiago because it is a matter closed by the president. Everyone knows the admiration I have for him, but it was the president’s decision. Punctuation. There is no point in feeding a decision that has already died. We have to think about Thursday’s game – he added.

In search of recovery, Tricolor will face Bahia in the next round. The game, valid for the ninth day, will be played this Thursday, at 7.15pm, in Pituaçu.
