Everson says Galo's priority for the second half of the season

Everson says Galo's priority for the second half of the season Atlético Mineiro has reached the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and is awaiting its opponent in the same stage of the Copa Sudamericana.  It will pursue those titles while also having a clearly defined goal: to bounce back in the Brasileirão, which is considered the priority after poor campaigns in 2024 and 2025.  In an interview with Itatiaia , goalkeeper Everson, the new black-and-white captain, made it clear what the mindset is for the second half of the season: " Now we have to work so that in this second half of the season we can earn more points in the league, which is something we’ve been demanding of ourselves over the last two years. This year, internally, the Brasileirão is a priority for Atlético — to have a good campaign and secure a place in the Libertadores. We are prioritizing the Brazilian Championship, yes . At the same time that the league is considered the main focus, the club idol recalled the knockout-stage finals Galo has reached.  " We know we can have a better campaign, but we also know that in the two years we’ve been here in the league, we reached three finals out of four possible in cup competitions, so it’s about knowing how to balance things well ." Atlético will return to action on the 21st of this month, when it will face Bahia. The match is for Matchday 19 of the Brasileirão. And Arena MRV will be the venue.  With 24 points, Galo sits ninth in the table. Vasco, with 20, is the first team in the relegation zone.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here.
