In-from São Paulo are creeping up on third placed Grêmio and have closed the gap between the 2 sides to just 3 points. However, Grêmio stiker Kléber believes that things are still in the Porto Alegre sides hands, starting with Saturday nights home fixture with Coritiba.
Kléber, 29, is not worried by the climb up the table of São Paulo as he says their form is expected, given the opposition they have had to face in recent weeks, except for Vasco, have all come from the lower end of the table.
He said: “We looked at the table and São Paulo did their duty with two teams below. Ok, they beat Vasco, but Vasco is struggling at the moment. They won against the teams that are theoretically weaker teams. We knew São Paulo, by force, would win. We are aware, but we are calm.”
Grêmio have just 2 points out of their last 2 games, however those draws did come against Botafogo and league leaders Fluiminese.
