This Saturday, Grêmio drew goalless with Ceará, in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. After the match, full-back Marlon lamented the result.
"We know that the Brazilian Championship is difficult. Ceará has a great team away from home, they play very well. Even though they played against Bahia on Thursday, they had a great game today. They are a very physical team with a strong rhythm," said the full-back in an interview with SporTV.
Despite dominating the match, Grêmio did not score. Marlon pointed out that the "final ball" has been one of the problems in the Immortal's season.
"But I believe we created chances to score and failed in the last detail. I think it's been our hallmark throughout the season, the final ball. We have to be more careful," he added.
Despite lamenting the result, Marlon recognized the importance of a point in the Brasileirão. "Unfortunately, when you can't win, you also have to take care not to lose, add a point. And now focus on while Flamengo has a great game," he concluded.
In 13th place in the Brazilian Championship, with 24 points, Grêmio seeks to increase its streak of unbeaten games to three. However, Mano Menezes' team has a big challenge in the next round. Next Sunday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), the Immortal visits Flamengo at Maracanã.
