Renan Lodi rues Atlético-MG loss, cites controversial incident | OneFootball

Atlético-MG lost away to Red Bull Bragantino this Wednesday and still hasn't managed to secure their first win in the Brazilian Championship. Newly arrived, full-back Renan Lodi spoke after the defeat and emphasized that Galo “worked hard to win.”

“Playing here is very difficult”

“We worked hard to win. We know that playing here is very difficult. During the week, we talked about how their game is all about the first and second ball. Every time there was a second ball, they won it, and their goal came from that. But I think in the second half we were superior,” commented Lodi.

The full-back was involved in a controversial moment at the end of the match, when he was brought down in the box by Sosa. The referee ended up not awarding a penalty. “About the penalty incident, I felt slight contact and ended up falling. It was the last minute, and there wasn’t much to do. Now, we need to be patient and keep working, because our team is making great progress.”

Next match

Galo’s next match is on Saturday, against Athletic, at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) for the Campeonato Mineiro, at Arena MRV. In the Brasileirão, Atlético’s next game is at home, against Remo, on 02/11 (Wednesday).
