Was suffered, sweaty, against all odds, mathematical and expectations. Phase to phase, Atletico-MG showed no respect for prognostic and was breaking down barriers. For those that said the Rooster trembled in the decisive moments, the team showed that it is able to be cold even in extreme situations. For those who saw some results as impossible to reverse, the team made it clear that in the Garden (and legume) is unbeatable. Even those who had claimed that Cuca never win a title expression. For these, the image of the coach with the champions cup is already more than enough answer.
Owner of the best campaign and best football this Libertadores, the technique showed Rooster, race, experience and heart. With a combination of these, impossible not to win the title. In the end, more than 60,000 crazed fans pushed the team to a turnaround that seemed impossible.
Before you even start the Copa Libertadores, the Atético-MG was already mentioned as a favorite. The investment made by Kalil put the rooster in the select group of those who, for the experts, would fight for the title. And the president has not saved money. The cast assembled for the 2013 season with players tell the size of Ronaldinho, Joshua, Job and Tardelli. All this combined with the youth of Bernard, Marcos Rocha and leadership Réver. A team of respect that could not be ignored. Against the Roosters, there was only the reputation of not being a team of arrival. For many, the mining team feel the pressure of playing in a competition size Libertadores.
Oblivious to mistrust, Atletico-MG treated right away to have any doubt and with an almost flawless first phase, qualified with the best overall campaign. There were five victories in the first five games, and when he lost, he had secured a job, the leadership of the group and the best campaign. Even in defeat, the team showed that the times were different. The phrase Ronaldinho out of the game sounded like arrogance, but it was pure confidence.
The star said that in the quarter-final, the result against Sao Paulo would be different, and the pitch, was proved right. With two convincing wins, by 2-1 and 4-1, Atletico-MG won the duel homemade and advanced in the competition. The quiet for 'Mass', however, would at this point. From there, breathtaking duels and heroic ratings. It was time for Victor shine.
Against Tijuana, the result away from home was much celebrated. With a tie at 2-2, Galo had enough advantage to control the game and win in the Garden classification. In Independence, however, the crowd alvinegra lived drama. The 1-1 score lasted until the end when the Mexican team had a penalty in their favor. The stadium fell silent and campaign Atlético-MG was hanging by a thread. Silence, minutes later, turned into a deafening cry of euphoria thousands of voices when the feet of Victor prevented elimination. It was just a test for what was to come against Newell's in the semis.
This time, the result did not come out of the house. With authority, the Argentine team won 2-0 and played the upward pressure of the Rooster. Many said that the situation was irreversible. They did not know the strength of the Garden. The pressure created by thousands of Atletico was too big and the goals were a matter of time. Took to the agony of the crowd, but William saved the night. With a goal, the duel led to penalties and, this time, Victor was in his territory. In the latest collection, Maxi Rodriguez hit the goalkeeper defended and Atlético-MG was in the final.
Since closed the cast that would dispute the Libertadores, it became clear that the great strength of the rooster for the competition would attack. Fair enough, because the offensive power of a team that has Ronaldinho, Tardelli, Bernard and Jo could never be underestimated. However, few expected the great hero of the title come the goal. Victor, prior adjuvant, seized the opportunities and 'saved' the Rooster in at least two decisive matches. With such an attack, and a 'wall' under the beams, impossible not to bet on the title.
The highlight of the first phase of the offensive Gallen was the brightness. Besides the best campaign, the team also had the best attack, beside Olimpia. Ronaldinho led the team as a Conductor and took Tardelli, Bernard and Jo 'soloists' inspired. The quartet impressed attack and, more importantly, made the opponents feared the Rooster. Especially in Independence, seemed impossible to hold the team alvinegro.
When the situation tightened, however, who shined was Victor. Against Tijuana, the goalkeeper saved a penalty in the last minute. Against Newell's Old Boys, the archer again defended a penalty to put the team in the final. In 2012, Kalil 'fought' with the crowd saying that the problem was solved in goal. It seems that the president was right.
Apart from them, it is worth mentioning two other players who also had a special glow. On defense, Réver showed safety and leadership necessary to lead the team's defensive system. Off the bench, Luan showed that he has star against Tijuana to score twice. In less scale, the two were also decisive in the title atleticano.
