The point won by Atlético in Fortaleza, in the 2-2 draw with Cear, must be highly valued, since it allowed him to regain the leadership of the Brazilian Championship even with many absences due to COVID-19. However, it is good for athletes to realize that they need to give more on this decisive line of competition.

The team showed a certain carelessness during some moments of the match at the Castillo, which is unacceptable for a team that wants the title. The mobilization must be the same, regardless of whether the opponent is a team fighting for the cup, like Flamengo, or against relegation, as is the case with the Ceará team.

Jorge Sampaoli must not allow athletes to get stuck in games that are considered easier. The next appointment, against Botafogo, on Wednesday, in Mineiro, will be one more opportunity for the team to reaffirm that it is the best Brazilian team today.

On the positive side of this Sunday’s game was the power of reaction shown by El Gallo, even with one less player in the middle of the second half. Marrony’s entry was essential and could make the coach reconsider the formation he has been using in attack. The former Vasco player asks for entry and must be, at least, the 12th player on the team.

We must also praise the performance of goalkeeper Rafael, who saved the Whites when the match was 2 to 1 for Cear. The 32 jersey showed all the quality and professionalism, not feeling the lack of rhythm after a long time without acting.
