After the defeat by 3 to 1, today (26), in Belo Horizonte, Renato Gaúcho said that Atlético-MG has the obligation to dispute the Brazilian title. The statement by the Grêmio coach is justified in the absence of other competitions on Galo’s calendar until the end of the season.
“I have no doubt (that Atlético-MG has an advantage). If you ask the other 18 Brazilian coaches, they will tell you the same thing. It is an extraordinary advantage. It could be another great club, there may be more like this. clubs have an Obligation to fight for the title. The other greats who could fight for the title, have a great attrition “, said Portaluppi.
Leader of Brasileirão, Atlético-MG has no other competitions ahead. He was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil and Sudamericana prematurely.
“For the player and the coach, the best thing in the world is the full week of work. We encourage when it happens. Imagine a coach with every week off. He has no wear, he can train, recover, train various schedules and will always face a tired team, It is a giant advantage. Those who do not compete in other competitions have an obligation to fight for the title. If they are going to win, it is another problem, but it is an extraordinary advantage that every coach would like to have. It is, but it is a price to pay ”, he added.
According to the Grêmio coach, this difference in wear was present on the field today. Tricolor had the classic against Inter last Wednesday, for Libertadores, Galo had no games.
“When you work in a club that competes in three competitions, it is the price you pay, if you are subject. If you are going to suffer in all three. On the one hand, that’s fine. But not because Atlético-MG beat us today, but He had the week to work. They recovered, rested, played once a week. It is a great advantage. Other teams will have the same problem. We come from a Gre-Nal very trapped and managed by Libertadores. And Atlético-MG was us looking at the Copa do Brasil will be looking shortly. Atlético-MG has the obligation to contest the Brazilian title, and the entire team that is in this situation, “he said.
