“I made a point”; Find out more about Gabriel Mercado’s important decision

Last Sunday, in Morumbis, Internacional beat São Paulo 3-1, but the match was marred by a serious injury to Gabriel Mercado, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

But after the match, the defender made an important decision for the team. Instead of returning to Porto Alegre, the Argentine chose to stay with the delegation, where Colorado will face Red Bull Bragantino on Wednesday.

For this reason, José Olavo Bisol, vice-president of Internacional Football Club, stressed in an interview with the “Show dos Esportes” program, on Radio Gaucha, that Gabriel Mercado’s position was decisive for the atmosphere of the club.

“On our part, as a board, we made ourselves available to address any issues he wanted, whether it was to return to Porto Alegre or to stay with the group. We made him feel very comfortable. He made sure to stay here with us and we are aware that his presence here also brings a purposeful environment. After all, he could have gone home and stayed with us. I am sure he will overcome all this,” said the Clube do Povo leader.
