After beating Galo, Mancini eyes Libertadores with RB Bragantino | OneFootball

RB Bragantino has regained its good football under coach Vagner Mancini. This Sunday, Massa Bruta defeated Atlético-MG 2-0 at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in an early match of the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the triumph in Bragança, Mancini stated that he dreams of seeing the São Paulo team in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.

“We have reached a points total that, at this moment, puts us in 8th place in the Brasileirão. We don’t know where we’ll end up at the close of the round. But it also opens up another perspective in the championship and we are willing to fight for (a spot in the Libertadores),” said Mancini in a press conference after the match.

Notable Progress

Now, RB Bragantino is on a three-game winning streak in the Brazilian Championship. Coach Vagner Mancini spoke about the team’s progress in the last rounds of the tournament.

“We have seen the team evolve. Even in the game against Bahia, we showed a different team in the first half. In addition, in these last nine points against Corinthians, São Paulo, and Atlético-MG, we not only performed well, but also convinced in terms of tactics, marking, speed, and the players’ commitment. We are very happy, because it is very important to convince when you win. I think everything that has been done is thanks to the players’ merit. Of course, there’s our way of playing and what we’ve contributed in this short time of work, but they understood,” the coach concluded.

With the victory achieved this Sunday, RB Bragantino reached eighth place in the Brazilian Championship. Massa Bruta has 45 points in 34 games.
