Felipe Melo weighs in on Atlético-MG goalkeeper selection

Former player Felipe Melo has shared his perspective on the goalkeeper competition at Atlético-MG ahead of the Copa Sul-Americana final against Boca Juniors. Melo advocates for the return of Everson to the starting lineup, provided the goalkeeper has sufficient time to regain match fitness following an injury.

Everson was cleared by the medical department after missing 11 matches. During his absence, Gabriel Delfim stepped into the role, playing a decisive part in the team's progression by defending three penalties during the quarter-final against Santos. While Delfim's recent performances have increased his importance to the squad, Melo emphasized Everson's experience, leadership, and historical ability to perform in high-stakes moments.
