Atlético-MG leaves Belo Horizonte to face Santos in Vila Belmiro, this Wednesday, at 9:30 p.m. (from Brasilia), for the ninth day of Brasileirão. It is the other way around that goalkeeper Everson will live. Leave Peixe, after fights in court, forgive and reserve, to become the Gallo’s newest reinforcement. Everson’s arrival creates new situations in the squad led by Jorge Sampaoli
The first is that Rafael’s publication gains shadow. Victor’s space on the team will be further reduced. There is still the economic aspect. On Atlético’s payroll there will be three goalkeepers in the Serie A title. That is to say, high payments for the capacity already presented by the trio, this for a club that struggles daily to keep the payments of the squad up to date.
Sampaoli even praised Rafael, who was hired by Atlético days after the manager was announced (the Argentine would only take over the following week). Rafael accepted the project presented by Galo, after a dispute with rival Cruzeiro, hoping to escape the scenario he faced in Raposa for years: the Fábio reserve.

It had a strong competitor, especially given its historical weight. The goalkeeper Victor, however, knew how to give up his place without complaint. On the contrary: he became an important figure in the locker room, the voice of leadership and experience of a cast that, on more than one occasion, Sampaoli classified as young. The “saint”, who would easily vote for the best players in the history of Gallo (and with the power to win), has not yet played with Sampaoli.
And the arrival of Everson indicates that Victor will continue without entering the field. His contract expires in December. So far, El Gallo does not signal the renewal of the negotiation. The idea, which lacks dialogue and consent from the parties, is that the contract for jersey 1 should be extended at least until the end of Brasileirão 2020, in February 2021..
The truth, however, is that Víctor’s future is open and necessarily involves a meeting between the Alvinegros managers, the goalkeeper and his team. personal. If the definition is to say goodbye to the player next year, we will have to work hard, because he is the protagonist of the 2013 Copa Libertadores, also present in the 2014 Copa do Brasil, with eight years at home and more than 400 games. .

Everson is a strong competitor for Rafael, mainly for coming with the backing of Sampaoli, something that the possessor needed to conquer in the daily life of the City of the Rooster. On the other hand, the give found with people linked to the current owner of the position that there is certainty in the fair trial of Sampaoli. That is to say, at first, the feeling is that Rafael will keep his place in the team, even if it is for the good time he lived at the club.
He is part of one of the best defenses of Brasileirão and is the only player who played in 100% of the minutes that Sampaoli commanded the Gallo on the edge of the field.
