As he left the field, midfielder Nathan made an analysis of the moment lived by Gallo. As in the match against Bahia, in the previous round, Atlético created many chances, but did not turn them into goals. For the attacking midfielder, once again, the team sinned in submissions against another team that decided to play the other way around, something that has become common among Gallo’s opponents, in the player’s opinion.
– We missed the finishing touch. Our team ran, delivered, looked for the goal until the last minute. However, as in the previous game, the opponents are coming back a lot and this ends up tying the game a bit. Even so, we tried to create and stop the counterattacks, which we ended up taking against Bahia. Now, it is to keep working and dedicating ourselves, since there is a lot of championship ahead.
The drop in team performance is beginning to worry us. In the last five games, the team has won just one, scoring five points from 15 games. Asked if Atlético have become a predictable team in their actions, Nathan pointed out that the rivals have hindered some maneuvers that are trained in Galo City and once again demanded the need for a better use in the presentations.

– There are several plays that we practice during the week. One is the one who pulls and the one who nails the far post. You can tell that the rivals are getting closer, so we have to work the ball a little more, turn more radius and look for infiltrations. We have to be careful in shipping, keep working, dedicating ourselves, so that in the next game victory can come.
Atlético returns to the field against Palmeiras, on Monday, November 2, at 5:00 p.m., at Allianz Parque for the last day of the first round. With the tie, the Gallo reached 32 points and ranks third in the Brazilian Championship.
