Luís Castro after new defeat at Grémio: «I know that what sells is blood»

Maisfutebol13 September 2026 at 10:08

Luís Castro, Grémio's coach, expressed irritation during the press conference after the team's defeat against Vasco da Gama. The questions about his work and the negative moment the team is going through provoked a reaction from the Portuguese coach.

The coach made an enigmatic statement by affirming that "what sells is blood," hinting that he feels his professional situation is becoming unsustainable at the Brazilian club.

This defeat represents yet another negative result for Grémio, which has been going through a difficult phase in the season. The pressure on Luís Castro has been increasing, which explains his defensive reaction towards journalists.

Vasco da Gama was the visiting team that secured the three points in this match, further complicating Luís Castro's position in charge of Grémio's technical command.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to Brazilian and Portuguese readers who follow Brazilian football, as it shows the growing pressure on a foreign coach in a delicate position. The defeat worsens Grémio's position in the standings and fuels the debate about Luís Castro's continuity in charge of the team.
