Amid goal drought, Rony vents after Atlético-MG draw: “The storm will pass” | OneFootball

Atlético-MG stumbled again in the Brazilian Championship. On Tuesday, for the 26th round, Galo hosted Juventude at Arena MRV and drew without goals. Despite the dominance and the several chances created, the Minas Gerais team was stopped by the post and the saves of Jandrei, the highlight of the Rio Grande do Sul team.

One of the protagonists of the match was Rony, who is in a goal drought since the 1-0 victory over Ceará, on June 1st, for the 11th round. Against Juventude, the forward hit the post twice and was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper, wasting Galo's best opportunities. After the final whistle, the athlete vented about the difficult moment and left a message of perseverance.

“We always try to make it happen the way we want, but unfortunately it's not like that. I think we have to keep our heads up, keep working, knowing that it's a storm. From what I heard today, the storm always passes. I believe that, with faith, things start to happen. So I will keep fighting, working, because I know that at some point this storm will end and the goals will come out”, Rony told Sportv.

Standings Situation

With the draw, Atlético-MG reached 29 points and surpassed Corinthians in goal difference, moving up to the 13th position. Juventude, on the other hand, remained in 17th place, with 23 points, four behind Santos, the first team outside the relegation zone.
