The coach of Gremio, Renato Gaúcho, did not hide his annoyance at his team's elimination in the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Flamengo, who sealed their qualification after a 5-0 victory at the Maracanã Stadium.
Moreover, the controversial 57-year-old coach affirmed that even a pregnant woman could have scored a goal against his team in the second leg of the Libertadores.
"The five goals were five mistakes. Today even a pregnant woman would score a goal against Gremio," said the former player to reporters after the match.
"We lost because we were far below our possibilities," he lamented.
He stated that the players of Flamengo, many of them with recent experience in Europe, "do not forgive".
"Today is not a day to talk a lot. When you win, everyone is good, when you lose, no one is good. That's how things are in Brazil. It was a surprising result, but it happened and we have to lift our heads and think about the Brazilian championship," he concluded.
