Hulk threatens to resign from Atlético Mineiro due to criticism from fans: controversy, Brazil | Other Soccer Leagues

In Brazilian soccer there is a surprising fact: one of the greats, one of those called to be the protagonist, is in seventh place in the Serie A table, with 40 units, 20 less than the leader Palmeiras. He is out of all continental competition spots and the game is not taking off. So far, a reality.

The fans, of course, have attacked the coach and the players of Atlético Mineiro, who now leave the fields more whistled than congratulated.

Of course they have looked at Hulk, one of the figures, who curiously has been quite sensitive to criticism and has threatened to leave the club for what he considers “unacceptable claims” from the fans after the defeat against Palmeiras, precisely because 1-0.

“We tried, we searched, we gave our best, we created a lot, there was a very high intensity, especially in the first half. And the ball didn’t go in. If a ball from me or from Keno had gone in, the match would be another story. football is like that, when you don’t win games, mistrust is natural. When Palmeiras players are first, any movement will give more confidence. Mistrust will happen, but you can’t give up,” he said.

His excuse sounds valid: “I, for example, didn’t imagine playing 90 minutes today, coming from a calf injury it’s very difficult, but I managed to play. I made a lot of mistakes, but trying to help. I have a lot of respect for the fans but if they think this is not intensity just say so and I’ll ask you to leave. I’m doing the best I can. To say that there is a lack of will is unacceptable,” he said, very annoyed.

And of course, he took the opportunity to highlight his career in several of the best leagues in the world and to reveal that he has offers and that he could even go to Tottenham but could not due to a visa problem.

Mineiro won the Brazilian Serie A last season with Hulk and Diego Costa in his ranks. Isn’t it expected that they will ask you to maintain the level this season? Apparently, tolerance for criticism is not high.
