Last season's League One, Atlético Mineiro managed to win the title with a 13-point lead. There is no doubt that the number one contributor to The Mineiro Athletic's victory is Hulk, who returned from the Chinese Super League. Last season, Hulk scored 19 goals in the league and swept multiple league awards in addition to the Golden Boot.
The new season of the Brazilian league is due to open in April, but Atletico Mineiro has not stopped competing. At the end of January, Bami United opened the curtain on the new season, which is the intercontinental league in Brazil. Atlético Mineiro, which won last season's Serie A, is undoubtedly also a favourite for Bami United to win the title. In the first seven rounds, they have won 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and are currently leading the league table.
Although it is only the Intercontinental League, Atlético Mineiro is also the main player, including the team's number one thigh Hulk. Although Hulk is 35 years old, his role in the team is unquestionable. In the 7th round of the Bami League, Atlético Mineiro and Athletic Bilbao MG played off against each other. Although the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, Atlético Mineiro has worked hard.
Seeing that the team was lackluster in breaking the goal, Atlético Mineiro sent Hulk in the middle of the second half, and the team's offensive effect was immediate. In the 94th minute of the match, Atletico Mineiro still did not give up the game, and at this time they finally received a valuable penalty opportunity.
At such a critical moment, it is bound to stand out is the inner thigh Hulk of the team. Facing the goalkeeper who played well in this game, Hulk calmly assisted and vigorously blasted the ball into the left side of the goalkeeper. Hulk, who scored the dead end, was so excited that he took off his shirt to celebrate with the fans present. Although he is over 35 years old, Hulk's figure is very well maintained, and you can see very obvious lines from the picture.
The victory of this game allowed Atletico Mineiro to directly surpass the previous top team Cruzeiro and directly rush to the top of the table. Although it is only the Intercontinental League, Atlético Mineiro does not currently have an absolute advantage. In the case of one more round, they are only one point ahead of Cruzeiro. Of course, the two sides have not yet had a direct dialogue at Bami United this season, and fans are looking forward to a direct dialogue between the two sides on March 6, which will most likely determine the title of this season.
Although Costa has left Atlético Mineiro this season, the king of the Brazilian league last season is still a favorite to win in all competitions in the new season. In, Hulk undoubtedly plays an important role. In the new season's Bami United intercontinental competition, Hulk scored 4 goals in 4 games, once again acting as the team's thigh. Atlético Mineiro, who missed the Copa Libertadores last season, believes that the new season will have a strong impact on the season.
