Paulo Bracks spoke with Atlético-MG fans after losing the Copa Sudamericana title

Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Tuesday (25), in Belo Horizonte, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Before the match, Paulo Bracks, director of the Minas Gerais team, used social media to ask for focus in the clash with Mengo and to highlight that the match is decisive after recent events.

— I would like to be speaking at a press conference, but we have a very important game tomorrow and I’m using the club’s official channel to also speak to the fans. The fans are hurt, angry, full of rage, disappointed, still on the road back to Belo Horizonte. I understand this frustration — began Paulo Bracks, football director of the Minas Gerais club.

— But the season isn’t over yet, we still have four very important games. At the end of these games, then yes, we’ll make a central analysis of the season. I don’t have the right to ask the fans to go to the game tomorrow, we respect this pain. But we would like them to be there. Whoever goes tomorrow will see a united team, mobilized and honoring our shirt — concluded the director.
