Barreal hails Santos prep, expects tough test vs Atlético-MG on turf | OneFootball

Santos is preparing to face Atlético-MG on Sunday, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Attacking midfielder Álvaro Barreal previewed the match. The Argentine expects a tough clash, especially due to the synthetic pitch at Arena MRV, but highlighted Peixe’s good preparation.

“It’s going to be a tough game. Their stadium, with the pitch… It’s going to be tough. But we’re training well to play a great match. It’s been two good weeks, we’ve had plenty of time to prepare. We’ve trained well. Everyone is ready,” he said.

The Alvinegro Praiano hasn’t played since August 31, when they drew 0-0 with Fluminense. Since then, the team has only trained at the Rei Pelé Training Center.

During this period, the club also had some news. The board announced four new signings, two of whom are Argentine. Barreal celebrated the addition of fellow countrymen to the squad.

“Two Argentines arrived. For the Argentines who were already here, it’s good. I already knew Lautaro Díaz and have mutual friends with Adonis. We welcomed them very well,” he concluded.
