Mano Menezes laments Grêmio's setback, but emphasizes: 'We deserved to have drawn'

Despite the 1-0 loss to Palmeiras , Mano Menezes believes Grêmio deserved to leave Allianz Parque with a better result based on their 90 minutes. In this sense, according to the Tricolor manager, the team lacked more effectiveness in finishing the scoring chances they had.

Furthermore, the coach believes he can hope for improvement later in the season. He believes the team played a good, evenly matched match against Palmeiras and is poised to improve.

"Although a defeat is always bad, I think we see some perspectives on what we're planning to do for the team. The players gave their all, they gave a lot. There's still a bit to go, but I think that, since returning, it was the best game we've played. The outlook is to keep improving. What we take away from this is something hopeful, I would say, to do better in the future," he concluded.
