Atlético board visits Cidade do Galo, demands reaction after defeat | OneFootball

Monday (6th) was a day of intense activity at Cidade do Galo. Two days after the 3-0 defeat to Fluminense at Maracanã, during the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, Atlético's executives and investors were at the training center to talk with the team and the coaching staff. The goal was to demand a quick response on the field and try to motivate the group after a delicate moment in the season.

With the setback in Rio de Janeiro, Galo dropped to 15th place, with 29 points. The distance to the relegation zone is only four points, and the pressure for results has increased. The team still has two games in hand and will return to the field next Wednesday (8th) at 7:00 PM, against Sport, at Arena MRV.

On Monday morning, Rubens Menin, Sérgio Coelho, Renato Salvador, Bruno Muzzi, and Pedro Tavares — members of the club's leadership — were present at Cidade do Galo. The delegation first met with Jorge Sampaoli's coaching staff to address the team's current situation and discuss necessary adjustments.

Subsequently, the team leaders were called for a private conversation. According to globoesporte.com, Everson, Lyanco, Gustavo Scarpa, Guilherme Arana, and Hulk participated in the meeting.

Also present at the meetings were CSO Paulo Bracks and football manager Victor Bagy. The internal assessment is that everyone within the club is fully aware of the critical moment experienced in the season and the urgency for a response on the field.
