This Thursday, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão, Grêmio hosted São Paulo in Porto Alegre and won 2-0, with two goals from Carlos Vinícius. The player celebrated the goals and highlighted the team's improvement throughout the match.

“Very happy to have contributed with the goal, we usually say that's the striker's instinct, you have to be ready for all situations, whether positive or negative, and the ball fell to me and the center forward has to finish, there's no other option,” he analyzed.

“We started a bit disorganized, especially with the first press with me, but we adjusted, and from that adjustment came the first goal, so the team gained confidence. Besides defending well, we played well with the ball, especially in transitions, we managed to put together good plays and the truth is we could have come away with a much bigger result, so we're happy, all the work during this break culminated in these three points. The team is happy, is confident, working after a win is different. Now let's focus on the next game,” he continued.

The 30-year-old center forward also commented on the team's maturity after difficult moments throughout the national competition.

“Coach Mano has been saying this, that the team is growing, people on and off the field are seeing that the team is improving. Unfortunately, we had some refereeing situations, but they're human beings, we believe it was human error. But that didn't hinder our progress, today we showed the work we've been doing. I agree with Mano's words, that the team is reaching good levels. We have to keep this up to reach the top of the table,” he concluded.

With the positive result, Grêmio reached 36 points, moving away from the relegation zone and getting closer to the top of the table, now sitting in 11th place.

The next match for the team from Rio Grande do Sul will take place this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Bahia, at Arena Fonte Nova. The game is valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.
