Grêmio had a Mexican reinforcement for the 4-3 victory over Botafogo in São Januário. The band RBD’s show at Nilton Santos guaranteed Luis Suárez’s presence in this Thursday’s game. If the match took place on the synthetic lawn at Fogão’s home, the Uruguayan would hardly play.

The revelation was made by coach Renato Portaluppi after the turnaround in São Januário. When asked about the matter, the Grêmio idol admitted that the different floor makes it difficult for the number 9 to be present due to the problem with his right knee.
– Yes (he wouldn’t play), because he doesn’t like it and, because of his knee, he can’t play on the synthetic pitch. If it were for Nilton Santos, Suárez would hardly play because he is synthetic, Renato revealed.

Suárez did not face Palmeiras and Athletico on artificial pitches. Against Verdão, Grêmio justified their absence due to physical exhaustion. In the victory over Furacão, Tricolor used reserves due to the dispute in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil with Cruzeiro.
The Uruguayan scored his first hat-trick in the Brasileirão and reached 14 goals in the competition, entering the fight for top scorer. This year, he scored 26 goals and 16 assists in 49 games for Tricolor.
