Atlético hosts press for special programme at Cidade do Galo | OneFootball

Atlético welcomed members of the press on the morning of this Thursday (6) at Cidade do Galo. The schedule began with part of the professional squad’s training session open to journalists.

The players who logged more minutes against Juventude on Tuesday (04), in the qualification for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, did recovery work. The other players took part in technical and tactical activities on the field under the guidance of the coaching staff, continuing preparations for the team’s upcoming commitments this season.

After the session, center-back Lyanco gave a press conference and highlighted the team’s progress, the squad’s strength, and the preparation for the rest of the season. “We need to focus on what we can control so we can keep improving in matches, in the competitions, and moving up the table,” said the No. 13.

The defender also emphasized the importance of the group’s strength amid the intense run of matches.

“We need to stay strong as a group, knowing that if one player doesn’t play, whoever comes in will get the job done. We’ve grown in that regard and feel that our squad is getting stronger and stronger.”

Next, Atlético’s Vice President of Football, Paulo Bracks, spoke with journalists. During the press conference, the executive discussed the football department’s planning, the team’s current moment, and the work carried out during the transfer window. Bracks also highlighted the alignment between the board and the coaching staff in building the squad.

“We work collectively to meet those needs, especially regarding the players’ characteristics, always aiming to strengthen the squad.”

Wrapping up the morning’s schedule, the Club officially presented forward Thiago Borbas, Galo’s new signing for the remainder of the season. The Uruguayan gave his first press conference as an Atlético player. Also check out the full article on the official presentation of Atlético’s new forward.
