Luís Castro accepted responsibility for Grêmio’s 3-0 defeat against Atlético-MG in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão and said changes are coming as the team looks to respond in its next fixtures.

According to Globo.com, the head coach voiced frustration with the display in his post-match press conference, shared the blame across players and staff, yet stressed that ultimate responsibility rests with him.

He described the prevailing mood as disappointment, noting that recent improvements in results and team cohesion had raised expectations, which made the setback feel heavier. He added that his side failed to compete.

Castro said Grêmio will react and made clear he will not simply persist with the same line-up and dynamics after a performance like this.

The result extended Grêmio’s winless away run to 11 matches, with four draws and seven defeats. He acknowledged the weight of that record and admitted it unsettles the group, while insisting they are determined to reverse it by winning on the road.
