Athletico’s defense completes 11 games conceding goals

[ad_1]

O Athletico is going through its worst phase in the Brasileirão with five games without a win. And the defensive numbers have been the biggest problem. Furacão conceded goals in the last 11 games.

In most matches, the team had to chase the result and managed to score by taking the first goal in the draws with Bragantino, Fortaleza and Bahia, and in the victories over Grêmio and América-MG.

The last time they went without conceding a goal was the 3-0 win over Flamengo, away from home, on September 13, in the 23rd round. Since then, 13 goals have been conceded, with goals conceded in every match.

During the period, the team had three wins, five draws and three defeats. In other words, he only scored 14 points in 33 games played. The result was the drop in the classification to seventh place, with 51 points, and the distance from the G6, now six points behind Flamengo, sixth place.

The defense is Furacão’s main problem this season. In total, in 65 games, 64 goals were conceded. In other words, almost one goal per match in the season. For next year, fans are calling for renewal and reinforcements for the sector. Defender Cacá, for example, should stay permanently.

To look for a place at Libertadores, Athletico will have to have an almost perfect campaign in the last four rounds and still support their direct rivals. Furacão returns to the field against Vasco on Saturday (25), at 7:30 pm, at the Ligga Arena, for the 35th round. Afterwards, they still face Cruzeiro, Santos and Cuiabá in the Brasileirão.
