Internacional train ahead of Grêmio clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

This Friday, Internacional held their penultimate training session before the derby against Grêmio, valid for the 24th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. This will be the 448th Gre-Nal and is scheduled for Sunday (21st), at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.

How was the training?

The players began the session with physical activities without the ball, but already on the CT Parque Gigante pitch, with running circuits and lateral movements. Next, coach Roger Machado gathered the entire squad for tactical work.

The coach has one more day of preparation, this Saturday, to make the final adjustments before the Gre-Nal derby.

Important return

For the match, left-back Bernabei strengthens the Colorado defense after serving a suspension in the last round due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the Brasileirão.

Season situation

Internacional’s season has not been good. Eliminated in the round of 16 of both the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores, the club is now only competing in the Brasileirão. In the national competition, they are coming off a heavy 4-1 defeat to Palmeiras and currently sit in 12th place on the table, with 27 points earned.

Grêmio, on the other hand, is coming off a home defeat to Mirassol by 1-0 and has now gone three games without a win in the competition. The Tricolor is in 14th place on the table, with 25 points earned.
