Tiago Volpi hails Grêmio’s progress ahead of Corinthians clash | OneFootball

The Grêmio's 3-1 victory over Juventude last Sunday (26) marked the return of Tiago Volpi after about a month out due to a hip injury. The goalkeeper appreciated the team's recent comeback, having secured four out of the last 10 victories in recent rounds.

Volpi also highlighted the impact of the signings made during the mid-year transfer window, such as Carlos Vinícius, who scored three goals against Juventude. “They have added to the group and make us stronger,” said the number 1, who last played in the draw with Botafogo at the end of September.

With the result, Grêmio reached 39 points, occupies the 11th position, and is eight points away from the G6, a goal that would secure a spot in the 2026 Pre-Libertadores. “We have the quality to make a final sprint and fight for this spot,” stated the goalkeeper, who has accumulated 2,250 minutes and was the only player in the squad with 90 minutes in all matches until he got injured.

The next game will be a direct confrontation with Corinthians on Sunday (2) at 4 PM at the Neo Química Arena. “If we want to keep fighting for higher goals, we have to focus only on the three points,” added Volpi, who has two goals scored in the Brasileirão, against Flamengo and Botafogo.
