Athletico increases concentration for the derby, and Petraglia offers bonus for victory over Coritiba

With a meeting between the squad and president Mario Celso Petraglia, Athletico began this Friday (17) in the concentration for the duel against Coritiba, for the 33rd round of Series B. The duel, which will be held at the Couto Pereira stadium, in Curitiba, will define whether it maintains or distances the Furacão from the fight for access.

According to UmDois Esportes , Petraglia spoke with the athletes about the importance of the red-black victory at Alto da Glória and agreed on an extra animal, at a value above what is common at CT do Caju. . The president had already met with the football director, Eduardo Freeland, in a demanding tone about the draw against Avaí last Wednesday (15).

With a training session in the late afternoon, the players were already at the CT on Friday night (17), where they will remain until the delegation leaves for the Couto Pereira stadium on Sunday. The decision to increase the period of concentration, in which the athletes have their food and sleep schedules monitored, was taken by consensus due to the importance of the match.

Furacão is on a three-game winless streak. The team has accumulated losses to Atlético-GO and Remo, both away from home, and a draw at home.

Before that, the red-black team had a run of seven consecutive victories, the longest streak in the current edition of the Segundona.

At the end of the 29th round, when Athletico had entered the top four, the club had a 72.5% chance of promotion. However, 14 days later, the Rubro-Negro sits in seventh place with 49 points, and has seen its chances drop to 28.8%.

According to mathematician Tristão Garcia, the magic number to secure promotion is 63 points . According to this calculation, Athletico needs 14 points out of the 18 remaining, as there are six games remaining in Série B. In other words, this means that Furacão needs five wins in its final six games.
