Felipe Melo é comentarista do Grupo Globo – Reprodução/YouTube
Dono de uma carreira consolidada no futebol, Felipe Melo enfrentou muitos atacantes das mais diversas características. Perguntado sobre aquele que mais lhe gerou dificuldade dentro das quatro linhas, mencionou três.
Logo de cara citou Hulk, do Atlético. Além da sua qualidade técnica indiscutível, o camisa 7 ainda conta com um porte físico avantajado, levando ainda mais problemas para os defensores. O comentarista ainda elege um ex-companheiro de Palmeiras como difícil de marcar.
“O Hulk era muito difícil de marcar, forte fisicamente. Eu gosto muito do Everton Cebolinha, do Flamengo, o próprio Dudu quando jogava comigo no Palmeiras fazia chover”, disse Felipe Melo, em entrevista para a youtuber “Biigoes”.
Principal jogador do Atlético nos últimos anos, Hulk virou referência dentro e fora de campo. Ídolo das crianças, o atacante se tornou um dos grandes ídolos da história do clube. Com gols e títulos, assegurou seu nome entre os mais importantes e vencedores do Galo.
Felipe Melo põe Atlético entre os favoritos no Brasileirão
Fora da Libertadores, o Atlético terá ao longo do segundo semestre a Sul-Americana, Copa do Brasil e Campeonato Brasileiro. Para Felipe Melo, o time comandado por Cuca tem um plantel capaz de brigar pela Série A.
Apesar de considerar Flamengo e Internacional em um patamar acima, o ex-volante acredita que o Galo tem condições técnicas e táticas de estar entre os primeiros do torneio nacional.
Hulk mira título da Sul-Americana
Hulk lamentou o empate do Atlético contra o Cienciano, no Peru, na primeira rodada da fase de grupos da Libertadores. Segundo ele, a dificuldade se torna maior jogando na altitude de 3.400 metros acima do nível do mar.
“A gente não está acostumado, principalmente os primeiros 15, 20 minutos ali, até se adaptar. Quando a gente faz alguma ação ali, para recuperar o ar é mais difícil, leva muito tempo”, relatou o atacante que projeta o título da competição.
“Vai ser um sonho ganhar esse título. Só dois jogadores do nosso elenco têm a Sul-Americana, acho que é o Rony e Allan Franco. Então, todo mundo está com esse gostinho, com essa vontade de realizar esse sonho”, declarou.

What went wrong: How Shedeur Sanders’ descent actually happened pre-draft
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> There was once an unwritten rule in the corporate hierarchy that an employee should not wear a watch that’s nicer than a superior's. Did Shedeur Sanders consider that on his first day at work Tuesday?It’s not his first job. Once the quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders now has a new employer: the Cleveland Browns. And watches are a huge part of his unapologetic persona. It’s not just that he has worn flashy watches on game day, including one that appeared to be worth $350,000. It’s that he flaunts it. When Sanders and a Nebraska player were talking trash before a game, the former Colorado QB put the watch in his opponent’s face. That "watch flex" was also a touchdown celebration, which people copied in just about every league, including the NFL. It became iconic.But that was […]

Giants’ Abdul Carter latest 2025 draft prospect to reveal he was prank called
<!--> The list of players who've shared that they were among those prank called during the 2025 NFL Draft grew on Wednesday. New York Giants rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter also received a prank call during the first round of the draft, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN. Carter, who was drafted by the Giants with the third overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, allegedly received the prank call when the Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to get the No. 2 overall pick from the Cleveland Browns.
