Everson cements his place in Galo history with more records | OneFootball

If Hulk is the great symbol of Atlético-MG’s current generation in attack, between the posts Galo has also built an unquestionable idol.

With more than five years as a starter and a leading role dating back to 2020, Everson has firmly etched his name into the history of the Minas Gerais club, following in the footsteps of historic icons in the position.

With 379 matches played, Everson has just reached the coveted Top 15 of players who have worn the black-and-white shirt the most in the club’s 118-year history.

Currently tied with Heleno (a midfielder from the 1970s and 1980s), the goalkeeper will take sole possession of 15th place this Thursday in the clash against Cienciano in the Copa Sudamericana.

The next idol in his sights is former striker Marques, who made 386 appearances.

When considering only goalkeepers, only three legends surpass Everson’s numbers at Galo:

João Leite: 684 matches (1976 to 1992)

Kafunga: 504 matches (estimated, from 1935 to 1954)

Victor: 424 matches (2012 to 2021)

With his contract renewed until the end of 2027 and a current record of 188 wins, 104 draws and 87 defeats, Everson has time on his side to move even closer to the top of this ranking.

Penalty king and trophy collector

Just as Victor built the image of a “Saint,” Everson has forged a deep bond with Atlético fans through his composure in decisive moments.

Recently, in Atlético’s qualification for the Copa do Brasil round of 16, he reached the mark of 22 penalty saves, establishing himself as the greatest penalty stopper in Galo’s history.

In penalty shootouts (finals or knockout ties), the team’s success rate with him in goal is impressive: Atlético have prevailed 66.67% of the time, being eliminated on only three occasions.

Beyond the historic saves, his trophy cabinet puts the No. 22 among the club’s elite.

Everson is in Atlético’s Top 5 all-time title winners, with eight trophies to his name — the same number as his generational teammate, Hulk.

His list of achievements includes:

1 Brazilian Championship (2021)

1 Copa do Brasil (2021)

1 Brazilian Super Cup (2022)

5 Minas Gerais State Championships
