Everson rues Atlético in Curitiba: “Another loss, two errors of ours”

After another away defeat in the Brazilian Championship, goalkeeper Everson, the only Galo player who stopped in the mixed zone, analyzed Atlético’s 2-0 loss to Coritiba this Sunday (19) at Couto Pereira Stadium, in the 12th round of the competition. As he left the pitch, the No. 22 highlighted the team’s attacking output but lamented the mistakes that proved decisive in the negative result.

The scoreline was built with goals from Breno Lopes, still in the first half, and Pedro Rocha in the second. For Everson, despite Atlético’s superiority on the field, the team’s collective mistakes ended up being decisive.

Considering the chances we had and the opportunities we created, it’s a bad result. We played better than the opponent, but because of two collective mistakes by us, one right at the start of the game and another in the second half, we ended up losing. Those were Coritiba’s only two shots in the match. Not taking anything away from them, because they knew how to capitalize on our mistakes. Unfortunately, it’s another game where we play well and still end up losing away from home.

The goalkeeper also commented on the impact of the second goal conceded, which, according to him, emotionally affected the team on the field.

“You do feel it. We were building plays, getting shots off! We had many more shots in the first half, and we were still shooting more in the second half until we conceded the second goal, and we conceded it the way we did. As human beings, you end up dropping your guard. We tried to get back into the game through set pieces; their team committed a lot of fouls and kept stopping the game. But like I said, unfortunately it was another defeat caused by two mistakes of our own,” he added.

Everson also highlighted the frustration over the result, mainly because of its direct impact on the standings and the fight for higher positions: “This is the kind of game we can’t lose, especially because of how much we could have climbed in the table with a win. We would have finished the round close to the G6. That’s our goal in the league, to be fighting near the top of the table,” he concluded.

With the result, Atlético remained on 14 points and temporarily dropped to 11th place in the Brasileirão standings.

Now, the team’s focus shifts to the Copa do Brasil. Galo returns to the pitch next Thursday (23), when they host Ceará at Arena MRV in the first leg of the fifth round. In the Brazilian Championship, their next match will be on Sunday (26), also at home, against Flamengo.
