Renato helped Grêmio
Firstly, it is necessary to recognize that Renato helped Grêmio in the 2-2 draw.
Renato Gaúcho has a history at Grêmio
As a player Renato Gaúcho has his name marked in the history of the club from Rio Grande do Sul. Renato was the highlight in 1983.
Initially, this was the most important year, having won the Libertadores and Mundial Interclubes titles.
However, his history at the Grêmio club goes further, he became the team's coach, and was very successful during his time there.
As a coach he won the Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Sul Americana and Recopa, as well as state titles.
With so much history, it's natural to have affection for the club.
Right after the game, Renato gave a press conference and when asked if he would like Grêmio to fall, he immediately replied no.
With so much history at the club, it would be strange to hear another answer. Evidently he could have been a politician.
His answer could have been that his head is focused on Flamengo and that he doesn't care about another team.
However, if he answered that way he wouldn't be the Renato Gaúcho that everyone knows.
But the controversy is that Renato would have helped his former club
Currently the possible lineup would be the one chosen by the coach, the club is thinking about the Libertadores final.
Obviously they will not put their best players at risk of injury, the priority is in the final.
Often asked about having helped Grêmio, the coach denied any help, but taking Vitinho out of the game was strange.
The player was in great shape, he had scored two goals in the match, and he wanted to play. And with one more player, add a midfielder.
Such an attitude is strange, especially coming from a coach who likes to win and play offensively.
There is a video on social media in which his assistant “would have” said that it was time to remove Vitinho before he scored another goal.
If this actually happened, it was a great disrespect towards Flamengo, and a dismissal would be warranted.
Ultimately, the dismissal did not occur and will not occur, even closer to an important final for the club.
If Renato remains next year, I believe it will be difficult for him to stay. I believe that JJ will still finish his story at the club.
