The Atlético-MG faced a night of strong criticism after the defeat by 3 to 0 against Fluminense, this Saturday. The negative result in the Brasileirão 2025, coupled with the performance below expectations, provoked a harsh internal reaction.
The executive director Paulo Bracks revealed a firm conversation with the squad, criticizing the lack of attitude and apathy shown on the field. “We had a very harsh conversation. Defeat is part of it, but we do not admit what happened,” Bracks stated.
The director also highlighted that the team showed "disorder and impotence" during the game and assured that the attitude seen at Maracanã "will not be repeated".
According to Bracks, Atlético has reached a maximum alert point, even due to the poor position in the standings - the team is in 15th place, with 29 points. “We have the red light on. We put a stop to this, in a very harsh conversation,” he reinforced.
Finally, Bracks emphasized that the club will not accept the continuation of the bad phase. “We demand an immediate reaction,” concluded the director, irritated with the fact that Galo is the worst team of the Brasileirão's second round.
