From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Everson keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Atlético Mineiro may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

The wait goes on for Atlético Mineiro

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Lyanco in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atlético Mineiro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Atlético Mineiro promote Tuta from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tuta has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Atlético Mineiro promote José Machado from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. José Machado has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
