Wesley Carvalho comments on Atletico’s performance and says: ‘The fans are right’


Wesley Carvalho praised Atletico’s performance, but also spoke about the fans’ protests before and after the match




Atletico coach Wesley Carvalho spoke after the 1-1 draw against Red Bull Bragantino, vice-leader of the Brasileirão, on Sunday evening (8), at the Ligga Arena, for the 26th matchday of the Brazilian championship. The coach praised the team’s performance, but received protests from fans before and after the match.

– Strategically we are happy with our choices for this match, which would have been difficult against a fast team that plays in transition. In the second half we came back better than in the first, with several turnover situations, around six clear chances, but the ball insisted on not going in. We leave sad, despite the good performance.

With the draw, Atletico maintains eighth place, with 41 points. Furacão could gain three positions, as well as touching Red Bull Bragantino himself. However, Atletico fans criticized the manager. The team is coming off a defeat against Coritiba and even before the ball rolled, the fans shouted “intern out”, “shame” and “competition”. Commander Wesley Carvalho said the accusation was part of that, saying they supported him during the match.

– The fans are right to make this request, we did not perform well in the classic. The team supported well during the match and protested again towards the end. It’s part of the process… All clubs in Brazil have this type of charge. These days ago he was at Botafogo, leader of the championship, today at Palmeiras, and so on. I need to have a calm head to concentrate on work.

Wesley Carvalho has eight wins, seven draws and six defeats in 21 games for the club. Despite Atletico’s pressure, it was Red Bull who came last, but Bento held off chances created by Luan Candido and Vitinho. With the draw, Furacão remains out of the league table for the next Copa Libertadores.
