Eduardo Domínguez eyes balance at Atlético-MG, expects tough start | OneFootball

This Friday, Eduardo Domínguez was officially introduced as the new coach of Atlético-MG. In a press conference, the 47-year-old Argentine mentioned the challenge he will face in leading Galo and envisioned a balanced squad in terms of the team's offensive and defensive sectors.

"In the first training sessions, what we did was observe characteristics, beyond getting to know the players, based on what we saw in the last matches, the difficulties, and how the goals were conceded. First and foremost, being aware of what is failing. If there is no self-criticism and the reason is not detected, it is difficult to solve. We will work hard to resolve these situations. We understand what factor is leading us to these defeats, or to these moments when we cannot defend well," the coach began.

"There is an opinion that my teams are more defensive than offensive. But they score many goals, too. So, I believe that a good defense is a good attack; if we attack well, we defend less. It is about finding the balance as quickly as possible, finding a compact, balanced team that knows how to attack and defend. We are evolving in these first days," explained Eduardo Domínguez.

Already registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID), the new coach will make his debut leading Atlético-MG this Sunday at 6 p.m. (Brasília time) at Independência, when they face América-MG in the second leg of the Campeonato Mineiro semifinal. The first match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Atlético-MG in the season

Despite being one step away from the State final, Galo is not having a good moment in the season. Besides not having triumphed yet in the Brazilian Championship, with two draws and two losses, they are coming off two games without a win (2-1 against Grêmio and 1-1 against América-MG).
