Atlético-MG arrived with a strong attack, one of the best in Brasileirão. But, in the last two rounds, nothing to balance the opposing networks. The goal drought brought to light the discussion of the lack of professional jersey 9, a function not so present in Jorge Sampaoli’s scheme. Striker Keno, who plays at the far ends of the field, says he misses a more focused teammate.

– Personally, I always liked playing with an area center forward, because of the places where he passed. But whoever is playing, Sampaoli will play with a player who moves and leaves the area, we have to get used to it too, because it happens as it is happening here.
Sasha is the one who usually plays this role, but as Keno pointed out, the athlete is not trapped in the area and moves a lot, leaving room for other players to appear in the area. Keno points out that the team is prepared to play that way. This Saturday, Galo received the reinforcement of Eduardo Vargas, who has the same characteristics of acting open at the ends or as a mobile shirt 9.
– If he (Sampaoli) likes this way of playing, I don’t think it bothers me, because we train all week to get to the game and put it into practice. It doesn’t bother me because whoever plays there, moving, like Sasha, like Marrony, are qualified players who can help me and help Savarino as well.

Atlético’s offensive scheme often leaves defense unattended. In the match against Palmeiras, on the last day, Galo suffered two counterattack goals. In other matches, Sampaoli’s team even scored many goals, but scored more than the rival and managed to win.
– This (lost goals) also complicates who is playing behind. Any ball that we lose from the front, if we do not rebuild or kill the play, the one who will suffer is the defense. We work a lot on that. How the teams are getting along now that they leave the attackers alone, that they don’t score again, and it ends up hurting us. If we are unable to define the movements or kill, fail or rebuild, we will continue to suffer damage.
Atlético will try to return to the victories against Flamengo, on Sunday, at 6.15 pm, in Mineirão, opening the return of the Brazilian Championship.
