Behold the drama wey dey unfold for Arena MRV, as Cuca, di coach wey sabi surprise, don shake things up for di upcoming match against Grêmio dis Sunday, August 17. E don pick some fresh players to join di squad, and everybody dey look like say na big gist wey go follow.
For di starting XI, na Reinier and Alexsander wey go don get di chance to shine as dem don join di club recently. Na serious matter o, because dem don dey hype these guys well well. Ivan Román go also join dem for defence as Lyanco don chop injury (why dem no fit stay fit? Na wah!).
But no be only dat one dey happened for di bench area. Fausto Vera, di Argentine, don come back, meaning Galo get more options for midfield. Arsenal of players dey ready as dem dey prepare to face dem Grêmio guys.
Di team wey go enter pitch go be: Everson, Natanael, Ivan Román, Alonso, and Arana; Franco, Alexsander, Scarpa, and Reinier; Cuello and Hulk. For di bench, we get Delfim, Robert, Vitor Hugo, Caio, Fausto Vera, Bernard, Igor Gomes, Gabriel Menino, Isaac, Rony, Júnior Santos, and Biel. Na wah! Dem don really gather hin boys.
Di challenge no dey small for Atlético-MG as dem dey juggle between Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil, and Copa Sul-Americana. Last week, dem manage to draw against Vasco, but dem don collect win against Godoy Cruz for di Sul-Americana. Cuca dey talk say, “We fit no dey get steady lineup because di way wey games dey run dey affect our guys.” (I no fit reason this matter, how players no fit just relax one small time before next match? Abeg!)
As we dey look forward to di match, Cuca fit decide to rest some players, because e no wan di boys to overwork demself. Like we dey hear, if Lyanco no fit play, dem go check well on Saturday before di match to make final decision.
One sports analyst, Vinícius Silveira from Rádio 98 FM, carry mouth talk say, “I no go surprise if Gustavo Scarpa gree sit down for bench make way for Igor Gomes. Alexsander fit also take Gabriel Menino spot. Cuello dey ground but with Dudu wey dey the suspension list, e go fit stay on field.”
For dis match, Galo go run with: Éverson, Natanael, Vitor Hugo (Saravia), Júnior Alonso, and Arana; Alan Franco, Gabriel Menino, Igor Gomes for midfield plus Scarpa; Rony and Hulk go lead di frontline. Na high-stake match dis one be as Cuca dey try balance performance and fitness to keep di team fit for three tournaments.
