Analysis: Atlético-MG takes lead in up-and-down victory over worst team at Campeonato Mineiro | Athlete – mg

In the sweltering heat of the Manduzão Stadium, which has a meadow outside the Brazilian’s quality of Série A, but at the level of football in the interior of Minas Gerais, El Turco dared to send a team in 4-2-4. Alan and Otavio are in containment and four attackers (Ademir, Kino, Vargas and Sasha) to strangle the dragon.

I worked out. Atlético gave the first half to practically kill the match. However, there was a lack of more focus on finishing touches. Eduardo Sacha scored, and will score again in the second half, when Gallo was required to increase the pace of the match.

Atlético’s defense has not produced such a great performance. Air balls failed to locate. That’s how Ramon Baiano, who made his Boso Alegre debut, had no trouble scoring twice. With the exception of four holders, and with a recent Supercup title, the match at Manduzão was naturally unattractive for the Galo champions.

But for those who still needed to prove themselves, this was a perfect opportunity, as Boso installed the Mineiro lantern with gall, without winning anyone. A fragile team, he grew in goals and could have had an important draw. Mohamed could have modified Atlético in a more graceful way. Kino, who did not improve his performance, probably pushed him to wear a sock.

The exchanges paid off, though. Nacho was responsible for assisting goalkeeper Fabio Gomez, which made a lot of relief when he headered over goalkeeper Cairo. Pressed without having time to show action, he scored an amazing goal.

Now, Atlético will have two days of rest during the carnival. As of Tuesday, Hulk, Godín, Mariano, and Jair are back in Turco’s plans. On Sunday last week, the classic match against Cruzeiro. Another big game for Atlético holders to start picking up the tempo of pressure that 2022 is already bringing, even because of the new level of demand created by the 2021 titles.
