Grêmio coach Renato Gaúcho could gain reinforcements for Wednesday's game against Flamengo, for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal. Geromel, Carballo and Cristaldo trained normally and should travel to Rio de Janeiro. Kannemann returned to the field after surgery on his hand, while Bruno Uvini just ran on the lawn.
After the victory against Fluminense, the players have already returned to CT Luiz Carvalho this Monday morning. The starters stayed at the gym doing physical recovery, while the rest of the group went down to the pitch.
Athletes who were not available on Sunday worked normally and can travel to Rio de Janeiro. Geromel, Cristaldo and Carballo were spared from Sunday's match, but participated in the collective. The tendency is for them to be able to play against Flamengo.
Bruno Uvini, who was absent against Flu due to physical exhaustion, as well as the Uruguayan midfielder, just ran around the pitch. The defender becomes doubtful for the confrontation of the Copa do Brasil.
Geromel asked to stay on the bench against Fluminense, but the commission opted to give the player more training time before this week's trips. Pepê, who came on in the second half and returned to action after three months, also participated in the entire team.
Recovering from surgery on his right hand, Kannemann ran on the pitch this morning. The Argentine is suspended from the match against Flamengo due to his expulsion in the first leg, but he can be available for the game against Santos, next Sunday.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

Flamengo will visit Grêmio this Wednesday (26), at 21:30. The match will be the first leg of the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and will take place at Arena do Grêmio, Porto Alegre. However, the Arena's lawn has received a lot of criticism in recent weeks.
In the last game of the team from Rio Grande do Sul, the stadium's lawn drew attention. In the match between Grêmio x Atlético MG, for the Brasileirão, the amount of holes did not go unnoticed. Tricolor employees had to use sand and green paint to try to 'makeup' the lawn before the ball rolled.
After the game, Grêmio tried to soften the wear of the grass and took some precautions. However, the lawn is not in good condition to play good football, but it will have to host the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil.
