Even with a series of preserves in the team, Grêmio dominated the match and had praised the performance in the fifth consecutive victory of the season, the third for Brasileirão. The coach said the score was “cheap” for Odair Hellmann’s team.

– The team did very well, a very good game, especially in the tactical part. We did not give space to Fluminense, who is ill, very well trained. We did not give them space to appreciate the possession of the ball in our field. We scored well and built a lot. We create various opportunities. With all due respect to Fluminense, the performance was very good and cheap for what Grêmio produced on the field. The score could be higher – Renato praised.

During the second half, when Fred had already been substituted, the coach argued with the center forward, who was on the Fluminense bench. When asked about the issue in the interview, Renato played down the episode and called his opponent a “Brazilian soccer idol.”

– Fred is a great friend and a great player. I just asked that he was yelling a lot on the bench, whistling the game, in deception. He’s right, he’s a cheater. I was on my side and spoke to the fourth official. But I told you to stop whistling the game. He is an idol of Brazilian soccer, without any problem. Our friendship will continue, I just said I wasn’t going to beep. Nor was it an argument. More important was the performance of Grêmio and the victory, and Fluminense himself has been doing a beautiful campaign in the Brazilian – explained the coach.

Grêmio reached 30 points with the victory and is in eighth place with a game still to be played, against Goiás, on the 30th. In the fourth, Tricolor begins the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal match against Cuiabá. On Saturday he faces Ceará, in the Arena, for Brasileirão.
