Grêmio pair urge Gre-Nal atmosphere for Vasco clash in fight against Z-4 | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, goalkeeper Weverton and defender Wallace have urged supporters to pack the Arena for Saturday’s meeting with Vasco, a direct clash in the fight against the Z-4. Winless away, Grêmio want a Gre-Nal-style atmosphere to lift their league form.

The Copa do Brasil quarter-final second leg against Internacional drew a record 55,695 to the Arena, where Grêmio won 3-1 to reach the semi-finals. The squad hope for similar backing this weekend.

Weverton acknowledged the team’s fluctuation and called for greater consistency on the road, while stressing the need to make home matches count. Grêmio still have seven home games left in the Brasileirão.

Wallace said the Gre-Nal atmosphere was unique and expressed confidence that, with strong backing, they could take all three points against Vasco.

After that derby win, Grêmio lost to Vitória at Barradão in the league, keeping Luís Castro’s side close to the relegation places. Weverton said belief in the dressing room remains and that players are demanding more of themselves, aiming to build consistency from the Vasco game and then the rearranged Botafogo fixture.

Grêmio face Vasco at 16:00 on Saturday at the Arena in the 27th round. The Tricolor start the round 15th on 28 points, with Vasco 17th on 25 and first in the drop zone.
