Renato fires at the Gaucho Union after Gremio's victory: “My patience has limits” | Association

Grêmio beat Avenida and continued to lead Gauchão, but Renato Portaluppi's press conference was critical of the FGF (Gaúcha Football Federation). The coach complained a lot about the structure of Eucalyptus Stadium and presented demands to the body that runs the tournament.

– Al-Ittihad cannot ship the Greenal duo. When we get here, the dressing room is bad, the stadium is terrible, the lighting is terrible. He added: “Soon a player will be signed for 4.5 million euros, who suffers in a stadium like this and stays out of the field for a long time.”

– The federation should at least worry about the field where the players will enter and perform. A little comment on the grass. It's very difficult to compete in the state tournament, and my patience has its limits. The coach added: “As long as it works, let's go. We can change our minds in a short period.”

On the field, Grêmio had a lineup that included some of their regular players, while others were kept. In the first match without Sotildo, the substitute scored the winning goal. Nathan Fernandez pitched a single and opened the scoring in the first inning.

This is the fourth successive victory for the Tricolor team, which maintains its lead over Gauchao, two points ahead of its rival, Inter. Renato spoke again about the difficulties he faced at the beginning of the season, in addition to expressing on more than one occasion his regret for reducing the squad he had.

– Difficulties are normal, I do not want to be repetitive, but eight, 10 days of preparation for the new season, problems in the medical department, the stadium is bad, it is our championship, so we need to overcome the difficulties. There is no sense in wanting to demand good football. He stressed that we have achieved victories that give us leadership.

Since making his Gauçao debut, Gremio have played five matches in the space of two weeks. Next appointment is in three days. On Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, the team will host Novo Hamburgo, at the Arena Stadium.
