Midfielder Victor Hugo saw improvement in Atlético’s performance, even after the 2-0 defeat to Vitória on Saturday night (14th) at Barradão Stadium in Salvador.

The goals of the match were scored by Renato Kayzer and Erick. With this result, Galo suffered their third defeat in three away games in the Brazilian Championship.

Despite the negative result, Victor Hugo highlighted that the team has shown progress on the field and expressed confidence in the work being done.

“We are improving day by day, working hard. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the win. I think we played a better game than we had been playing, we are growing, but it’s still the beginning of the season. We’re going to understand the coach’s ideas better and better, and our game will start to come together more and more,” he said.

The midfielder also emphasized that he believes in a turnaround as the season progresses.

“I am sure it will be a great season, we’re going to turn things around and make things happen with a lot of hard work, that’s the only way things will change,” he added.

Lack of efficiency

Asked about what was missing for Atlético to achieve a better result in the match, Victor Hugo was straightforward in pointing out the team’s main issue in the game.

We needed to score! We ended up conceding a goal from a foul that I don’t even think was a foul, but that’s part of the game. But we need to score goals, with the chances we have, we need to finish better. I think that’s it.

Next challenge

Atlético now turns its attention to the next challenge in the Brazilian Championship. The team from Minas Gerais will take the field again on Wednesday (18th), when they host São Paulo, the current leader of the competition, at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte.

The match is scheduled for 8 p.m., and it will be an opportunity for Galo to try to bounce back in front of their fans.
