Praised first half and focus on work

The Portuguese coach approved of Grêmio's performance in the match, although he pointed out that "one or two things could be better." Castro emphasized the importance of maintaining emotional balance, without "getting euphoric when we win, nor depressed when we lose." He reinforced that the current moment requires dedication and a "clear objective."

Castro avoids talking about Gre-Nal

Despite the proximity of the first Gre-Nal of 2025, scheduled for next Sunday, Luís Castro chose not to comment on the classic. The coach preferred to focus on Grêmio's next commitment in the Gauchão, which will be against Guarany in Bagé. "It is disrespectful to my next opponent and disrespectful to the opponent we had today (Saturday)," he stated.

Cristaldo receives praise

The Argentine midfielder Cristaldo was one of the highlights of the match, scoring a beautiful goal and directly participating in two other offensive plays. Castro reaffirmed the player's quality, justifying the opportunities he has been given. "We have to give opportunities to everyone. Was he bad last year? Okay, but he can be good this year," explained the manager.
