This Monday, Grêmio continued their preparations for the match against Botafogo, valid for the second round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams will take the field on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre.
The activities began with warm-ups and running, followed by mobility exercises on field 3. Meanwhile, on field 1, the goalkeepers carried out specific drills for their position, under the guidance of the goalkeeping coaches.
Next, coach Luís Castro led technical activities, organizing the group into three teams. The training session ended with tactical exercises, already focusing on the strategy for the next match.
In their Brasileirão debut, the Tricolor Gaúcho lost to Fluminense 2-1 at Maracanã. Therefore, they remain without points in the national competition and will take the field against Botafogo in search of their first three points. Botafogo, on the other hand, come from an encouraging debut, having thrashed Cruzeiro 4-0.
Grêmio is coming off a 1-1 draw in the derby against Juventude in the State Championship. With Arthur and Pavon absent due to suspension, the Tricolor faces Novo Hamburgo in the quarterfinals. The match will take place on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., at the Arena in Porto Alegre.
