Hulk was responsible for scoring, in the penalty kick, the goal that gave Atlético-MG the classification for the quarterfinals of Libertadores
Hulk was the name of Atlético-MG in the classification of the team for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores on the night of this Tuesday, 5th, against Emelec. After the confrontation, the striker recalled that he missed the kick in the first leg and thanked the commission for the trust, saying that even before he had already indicated that he would be the hitter in case there were penalties.
“As I always say, Massa is an extra player for us. And that’s football, in the first leg, I had the misfortune of missing the penalty, but we have to keep working, not lower our heads. , especially here in Brazil, every three days we have a new game, we have to focus not to make more mistakes. I had the opportunity today, I was calmer to take the penalty and I managed to convert well”, said the player.

“The dream, all of us here, to win this famous eternal glory. And we have to focus, no matter the opponent, we know the difficulty. . But it was a difficult game, Libertadores is that, each game is a final”, completed the striker of Atlético-MG.
However, in addition to having left the bad experience behind, Hulk also broke one of his ‘zicas’. With the Galo shirt, the striker had lost all three shots he made in the Libertadores playoffs, including the one in the first leg. With that goal, shirt 7 put an end to his fate and even managed to convert the penalty to give the rating to the fan.
Now calm with a place in the quarterfinals guaranteed, Atlético-MG awaits the definition of the match between palm trees and Cerro Porteño to know your opponent in the next phase of the Libertadores. It is worth remembering that in the first leg, Alviverde did the best, winning 3-0 away from home, in Paraguay.
