Atlético-MG players Vitão and Delfim gain prominence
Young players at Atlético-MG are gaining prominence within the club. Defender Vitão, 18, has recently earned more playing time under coach Eduardo Domingues and received public praise from former Spanish international Gerard Piqué. Vitão, who stands 1.94m tall, is currently participating in friendly matches with the Brazil U-20 national team in Spain.
Goalkeeper Gabriel Delfim has also been making an impact, stepping in for the injured starter Everson. Delfim highlighted his performance during the Sudamericana quarterfinals against Santos, specifically during the penalty shootout, as the most significant moment of his career thus far. He expressed his ambition to eventually represent the Brazilian senior national team.
