Does Hulk play today? Juventud x Atlético-MG in the South American
Atlético-MG enters the field for the first time without Hulk in CONMEBOL Sudamericana. The Brazilian team visits Juventud, at Estádio Centenário, at Montevidéu, this Tuesday, May 5th, at 7pm (Brasília time), for the fourth round of Grupo B. The victory became even more urgent after the idol’s recent departure.
Hulk’s contractual termination was made official on May 1st. The striker left the club after almost six years, with 140 goals and important titles. Galo now needs to adapt in attack to continue fighting for a place in the round of 16. Juventud occupies second place in the group with four points. The Atlético-MG has three points and occupies the lantern.
Saída of Hulk resets Galo’s attack
The Minas Gerais club announced the friendly termination with Hulk this Friday. The 39-year-old player is expected to move on to Fluminense. Galo prepared a farewell party for May 10th, before the game against Botafogo.
The absence of the main goalscorer of the recent era requires changes. Reinier, Dudu, Cuello and Cassierra compete for space at the front. Eduardo Domínguez tested variations in the classic against Cruzeiro, won 3-1. The result brought morale, but the challenge away from home at Montevidéu’s altitude takes on extra weight.
