The Uruguayan striker scored a great goal and provided an assist in Gremio’s unappealable win (3-1) against Internacional
The ex of Barça unleashed the madness of the ‘crooked’ Gremista by opening the scoring with a spectacular kick from outside the area
Luis Suárez reigned in Gre-Nal, the hottest classic and with the greatest rivalry in Brazilian football. The former Barça player put the win (3-1) on track for a Gremio far superior to Internacional, opening the scoring with a spectacular goal from outside the area. And he capped off a great performance by giving an assist.
The Guild was better. He sentenced his eternal rival in the first 45 minutes, where he opened an insurmountable difference with goals from Suárez and the Paraguayan VillasantYo. There is no doubt that the set of Renato Portaluppiwho had a very irregular sequence, gave his best performance of the season in the classic gaucho.
Even staying with ten from minute 52, due to the expulsion for a double warning of his captain, the Argentine center-back Kannemann, the Immortal did not suffer against an Internacional in very low hours, which added its fourth consecutive league defeat (plus one in the Copa do Brasil), which could end up leading to the dismissal of Hand Menezes.The Gre-Nal served to reinforce Suárez’s ties with the ‘crooked’ union. The Uruguayan, who has always scored in classics in all the clubs he has been in, is the top scorer this season for the Immortal. There are already two goals in the Brasileirao and he has accumulated 14 goals and 6 assists in 23 official matches.
“In a match as important as the Gre-Nal it is necessary to work a lot. We started very focused, which is important to gain confidence. When a player has confidence, he tries to do his best. I knew it was an important day for me and for the Gremio. It is in these days when the great player has to appear”, exposed Suárez.
And he added: “YouAll the goals that one scores are special, but a Gre-Nal is a very important game in which there are many people watching. I got to do my job. Everything has gone perfectly, so we are all happy”,
After seven games, Gremio remains in the middle of the Brasileirao table: it is tenth with 10 points. For its part, Internacional is fourteenth with 7 points, with only a margin of two points over the relegation zone.
