After victory, Hulk criticizes the state of the Mineirão lawn

At the end of the match against Corinthiansvalid for the round of 16 of the Brazil’s Cup,Hulk made a statement on a subject that has been recurrent. Even after the 2-0 victory, the striker Atlético-MG did not fail to draw attention to the condition of the lawn of the Mineirãowhich has been lacking for some time.

“Gramado is really worn out, we end up wondering how it will be on Tuesday, which is Libertadores, an important game, we need to win. On the weekend, there’s a show here. The lawn is difficult. I even spoke with Vitor there, it makes our actions very difficult”said the number 7 of the Rooster.

It is worth noting that Gigante da Pampulha has been hosting a large number of events on the lawn, which makes the conditions for games more precarious. In addition, the grass was changed to a more adapted version to withstand the winter. The player’s concern is because Atlético returns to play at the stadium next Tuesday, against Athletico Paranaensethrough the group stage of the liberators.

In his speech, Hulk pointed out some situations that the state of the field interferes with Atlético-MG’s style of play. “People who like to dominate by going forward, feinting, make it very difficult because, sometimes, the ball bounces a lot and makes it difficult. It is facing this difficulty that is part of it”commented.

In addition to talking about the pitch, Hulk also took advantage of the space to praise the scorer of the two winning goals for the Rooster. “Paulinho deserves what he works for. Vargas scored an important goal against Internacional. Morale even more, give more motivation, also because he is very important to us”, finished.
