Atlético-MG beat another rival in Mineirão. This time, it was Goiás, 3-0, on the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Rooster’s seventh victory in seven games as the main in the competition. The team maintained the lead, with a three-point advantage for Flamengo, who is on the rise.
In Sampaoli’s opinion, Atlético deserved the victory, dominating during the 90 minutes. The coach still believes that Rooster could have scored even more goals. And, in fact, he had opportunities for that. Goiás goalkeeper Tadeu avoided the win.
– It was a game dominated by us during the 90 minutes. I think it was a complete match for the team, which attacked at the beginning. Well, it was a game that was won. (…) It could have been more goals. (The team) subdued the rival in their field, generated specific chances. Unfortunately, we were not strong in the situations we saw. You have to keep improving and growing.

Despite the sovereignty in Belo Horizonte, Sampaoli was also interested in pointing out that Galo has the same level of play as a visitor, citing the example of the duel with Fortaleza, when the team was defeated 2 to 1.
– We also won away games. The last game, in Fortaleza, we also played dominating the game, because Fortaleza played all the time, but in a way that we didn’t have the ability to attack. But, the idea is that we have the same attitude while playing.
Sampaoli also says that the teams playing against Galo in Mineirão come in a different way, prioritizing defense, as Goiás was, this Saturday. The coach also points to the game against Fluminense, on Wednesday, again in Mineirão.
– There is certainly also a way of playing for the different teams here, which we cannot accommodate, but which in the future will surely be extinct. Now, here we will have a very difficult match with Fluminense. I hope the youngsters recover quickly and are aware of their place and the team jersey.
