“The fans deserve congratulations, and so does my team. We had the first half with one opportunity for the opponent. We managed to equalize and then win. I told them: Vasco turned a game around, which I believe hasn't happened here at São Januário for a long time, and we didn't just turn any game because Palmeiras will fight for the title,” stated Renato.

Besides analyzing the match, the coach defended the conditions of the São Januário pitch, which were criticized by João Martins, Palmeiras' assistant coach.

“Vasco's field is a good field. It might not be a perfect ten. I would prefer to play a thousand times on Vasco's field, if I were a player, than on synthetic grass,” said Renato Gaúcho, considering the fact that Palmeiras does not use a natural pitch as their home field.
