Grêmio must have reservations against São José on Sunday

With that, coach Renato Portaluppi will be able to make other observations and shoot for the group. Altogether, Tricolor has 37 athletes in the squad and the football deputy, Paulo Caleffi, has already warned that the coach’s desire is to work with 30 players throughout the year. Only in the midfield, there are 15 athletes. And to know who will stay and who will be put on the market, the coach needs to put them on the field.

One of the teams scheduled for this Thursday’s activity, before the storm hit Porto Alegre, had Gabriel Grando; Thaciano, Gustavo Martins, Bruno Uvini and Diogo Barbosa; Villasanti, LucasSilva, Cristaldo; Gabriel Silva, Guilherme and Diego Souza. If Portaluppi opts for a completely reserve formation, this team can face Zequinha at Passo D’Areia.

Now, the technician can merge some pieces that he wants to give more shooting, like Gustavinho and Galdino, who participated in the victory over Brasil de Pelotas. The tendency is for it to be a mixed team, with the preservation of some main players and the entry of others who did not have much time on the field in these three games of the season.

The lawn of the São José stadium is also one of the justifications for the preservation of some athletes. After the victory over Xavante, Portaluppi spoke about the subject. “Sunday is synthetic grass. It’s another problem that we’re going to have, but what can we do? It’s the state championship. On Saturday, you call X-9 after noon and, suddenly, it’s already past the team for you”, joked the coach, referring to the leak of lineups before the games.

Grêmio still trains this Friday (27), in an activity open to the press, and a closed job, on Saturday, before the confrontation on Sunday.
