Atlético-MG recovered very well from the last setbacks and was encouraged by the 4-0 defeat against Flamengo, last night (8). And for each goal of the black team it is possible to separate a positive highlight that Galo had on the field and that directly influenced the overwhelming victory against a competitor for the Brazilian title. Remembering that, in the first round, Jorge Sampaoli’s goal had already beaten Domènec Torrent 1-0 at Maracanã.
1 – Hello, point
Before the game, the athlete’s main concern was the players’ unbalanced foot. In the previous four games, Galo has performed nearly 80 times, but has only scored two. This time, Sampaoli’s team went to surgery, making four of five shots on goal.
2 – Sasha said she came
In addition, Sasha’s participation also deserves a separate chapter: the wise decisions of Jorge Sampaoli and assistant Jorge Desio. In the previous match, Sasha had stayed on the bench while Brown took possession. This time, Sasha he started the game again, showed a lot of opportunism and scored his two goals, ending the five-game dry fast. In the second half, Jorge Desio He was also right by promoting the entry of Zaracho, author of the goal that closed the match account.
3 – Threesome on defense stopped the former best attack
As if the offensive system did not work, Atlético also managed to be very solid in defense against the now second best attack in the competition (behind Galo himself). The explanation for this is the alignment with three defenders: Réver, Alonso and Igor Rabelo. The latter is the immediate reserve of the duo, but it strengthened the sector and ended up as one of the best in the field. Despite some shocks with the powerful red and black attack, the Atletican defense played very well during the 90 minutes and left the zero field, which happened very few times in the first round.
4 – Time on all the time
Finally, Atlético’s concentration from start to finish also played an important role in the victory. At first, the seriousness of the team was essential to drive the blitz and open 2-0 on the scoreboard, something that did not happen often. In the last matches, Atlético took a long time to “enter” the matches or came back too relaxed, suffering in the final stage. This time, it never happened. Even at 4-0, the team still ended the match complaining of a penalty and with a real chance of scoring the fifth goal in Mineirão.
Now, Atlético rises the table and returns to nail the International leader, who has 36 points. At 35, Galo will have another full week to work before the game against Corinthians, in São Paulo, next Saturday.
