"(I would say) he is a winner. I'm a guy who never gave up. I lost my mother a few years ago. 15 days, I'm still grieving. It's been difficult, but I have to continue. As I always think, she dressed me in her armor. When she saw that I was ready, she left. me to say this. I know that she is in the arms of the Lord, and that is what comforts me. I want to tell (to Carlinhos at the beginning of the year) that I arrived here due to God's merit and my work", said Carlinhos, at half-time.
Carlinhos made his debut in the first round of the Brasileirão, against Atlético-GO, and then again had the opportunity as a starter against Palmeiras. The striker spent just 45 minutes on the field at Allianz. Carlinhos only played again against Juventude, but only spent four minutes on the field.

Atlético fans sang homophobic music in the game against Flamengo, at Arena MRV, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, this Wednesday (03). Before the ball rolled and even during the game, part of the black and white fans sang the famous chant in a tone of provocation towards their rival. “You are a team of idiots and c*z&%, pu**, vi***, and thieves. Take no **, Mengo”, they shouted from the stands. The prejudiced lyrics were already a reason for punishment for Galo, still in 2022, in a duel with the red-black for the Copa do Brasil.
On that occasion, Atlético received a fine of R$ 65 thousand determined by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). The song is recurrent in the athletic stands. The song became a kind of anthem in the disputes against Flamengo, motivated mainly by the historical rivalry between the teams.
This year, Atlético has already been judged by the Minas Gerais Sports Court of Justice (TJD-MG) for homophobic screams in a classic against Cruzeiro, in the third round of the Campeonato Mineiro. The club received new punishment. This time, worth R$40 thousand.
