Kannemann thanks fans after defeat to Chapecoense in Sinop; Noriega criticizes pitch

Noriega highlighted that the squad is still in the preparation phase after the mid-season break and believes there is time to correct mistakes before returning to official competitions. "It was a difficult game, the second friendly after the holidays, I think we are improving little by little. We have to keep working, I think this is a test to see what we are doing wrong and what we are doing well, there is still time to improve."

Afterwards, the midfielder also commented on the conditions of the Gigante do Norte pitch, which has historically been the target of complaints due to poor conditions. Part of the Rio Grande do Sul press also complained yesterday. Despite this, the midfielder highlighted that this does not serve as a justification for the negative result. "After the holidays, we come back different, we still have a lot to improve as a team, but we are in the process. Unfortunately, we didn't get the result today, a bad field, which is no excuse, but we will continue working as there is still time to improve", concluded Noriega.

Argentine defender Walter Kannemann, one of the main idols of the Grêmio fans, highlighted the support received from the fans who attended the stadium in Sinop. "Spectacular fans, thank all the fans who came here to support us. We are preparing, we are improving", concluded the defender.
