Official says Libertadores is Atlético-MG's focus this season
Atlético-MG’s players are on vacation because of the World Cup break, but the club’s board has “big plans” for the second half of the year.
According to Pedro Daniel, Galo’s CEO, returning to the Conmebol Libertadores after two years playing in the Copa Sudamericana is the main goal for the season.
For that to happen, Atlético-MG has three “paths”: the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil, and/or the Copa Sudamericana.
Currently, Galo sits in ninth place in the Brasileirão with 24 points.
“When we talk about being a leading force, the main objective this season is to return to the Libertadores next year. That is our biggest focus. We are doing everything possible to achieve that. That is our short-term goal,” Pedro Daniel told the Máquina do Esporte channel.
“In the medium term, we want to be sustainable within our reality and competitive. The first step is to be in the top tier. To do that, we have to be in the continent’s main competition.”
