Coudet overcomes controversies at Atlético-MG and says: “I chose to be here”

Coudet achieved its fifth consecutive victory for the Atlético-MG in the season and kicked away any kind of controversy surrounding his work. After a troubled start and with an irregular phase, the coach overcame all the strong statements and the possibility of dismissal to replace Galo among one of the main favorites of Brazilian football.

The 2-1 victory against Athletico-PR last Tuesday, the 23rd, at Mineirão, was the completion of work that went through difficult times in the 2023 season. The result for Atlético-MG also marks a phase of overcoming and renewed confidence in Eduardo Coudet. The Argentine was close to leaving the Rooster due to some controversial lines, however, a month later, it begins to become unanimity externally and internally.

“I chose to be here. I had other possibilities, but I chose to be here. Sometimes it doesn’t happen, but sometimes we are lucky to choose where to work. Everything that’s happening, I know could happen. I’m happy for the group, who always work exceptionally well every day. Things are coming out and above all we have shown how we play“, said the coach during the press conference after the victory in Libertadores

Eduardo Coudet, with the positive result against Athletico-PR, achieved the feat of five consecutive victories, something that had not happened at Galo since March 2022. This season, he went 11 games undefeated, but had not reached the important mark , which gave even more confidence to the players. During his conversation with journalists, Coudet also took the opportunity to point out some important factors that have been responsible for the black and white evolution.

“We had a great game, again, especially with the difficulty of the pitch. Was difficult. But we knew we had to set the conditions. We were fair winners today for performance, for always seeking. The fan, I feel that today he feels identified and believes in the team. He believes that the team can win. The team keeps playing and I’ll repeat it, but I think we deserved the three pointscompleted.

In a good phase, Atlético-MG is now preparing to maintain the unbeaten record of the last five games against Palmeiras, for the Brasileirão. The two teams will meet next Sunday, the 28th, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), in Mineirão. The expectation is that both enter with maximum force to try to leave with three important points.
