The Atletiba duo at high voltage with a crisis behind the scenes

The week was characterized as one of the most hectic in the duo’s daily lives. Atletibamarked by the departure of a coach, a rejected player, two defeats that were not on the schedule and a crisis.

The Atletiba duo in high voltage with behind-the-scenes crises returns to the field to try to rehabilitate themselves in the championships they compete in. The biggest challenge is for Furacão, who will play away from home, against Vitória, who are coming off a triumph over the struggling Fluminense at Maracanã.

After flirting with the leadership of series A, with six wasted points, conceding goals in stoppage time due to positioning errors and lack of attitude from the defenders, without forgetting the countless chances missed by the attackers to consolidate the results, Cuca freaked out and asked to leave.

There is a notable lack of institutional leaders to be directly present with the professionals of the technical committee and the squad on a daily basis, during trips, training camps and, above all, in the locker room. Currently, the Athletico coach takes on responsibilities beyond his role, hindering the work.

The interim coach needs to improve his performance, as he failed badly in the defeat to Cruzeiro when he allowed midfielder Matheus Pereira to lie down and roll, without direct marking or collective blocking, taking control of the match. In fact, the dramas of the current Atletico team are well characterized: irregularities in the defense, lack of a quality first midfielder to fill the space between the defense and the midfield, a player of the same technical level as the veterans Fernandinho and Nikão to improve creativity and a successful striker to complete the attack when Canobbio returns.

In Coxa, The bug caught on with executive director Paulo Autuori’s veto of controversial striker Alef Manga. In his argument, Autuori highlighted that he wants to prevent moral contamination in the group of players and prefers that Alef Manga seek other paths.
