Atlanta United Star Aleksei Miranchuk Talks About Beating Miami, Goals for the Future, and Life in Atlanta
Aleksei Miranchuk, the star midfielder for Atlanta United, recently sat down with GOAL Convo to discuss his team’s victory over Inter Miami, his personal goals for the upcoming season, and his adjustment to life in his new home city of Atlanta.
Homecoming for a Hero
After a successful winter season, Miranchuk returned to his hometown of Sloviansk-on-Kuban in Russia, where he was welcomed as a footballing hero by friends and family. Despite being thousands of miles away from Atlanta, the excitement of his team’s victory over Inter Miami in the MLS Playoffs resonated throughout his hometown.
“Everyone was asking ‘how?’ How it was there, how it was amazing, and all of those things. The whole world was following the game,” Miranchuk shared during an interview at MLS Media Day in early January.
Success Against All Odds
Atlanta United’s victory over Miami was particularly impressive as the team was without a full-time coach at the time. Led by goalkeeper Brad Guzan and the newly signed Miranchuk, the team managed to secure a 2-1 win in the three-game series. Miranchuk’s impact on the team’s performance was evident, despite his relatively short time in the United States.
Since then, Miranchuk has settled into life in Atlanta and has been embraced by the fans. With the arrival of new head coach Ronny Deila and star players like Emmanuel Latte Lath and Miguel Almiron, Atlanta United is now considered one of the favorites for the upcoming season, with Miranchuk playing a crucial role in the team’s success.
Looking Ahead
During his conversation with GOAL Convo, Miranchuk discussed his adaptation to life in Atlanta, the significance of the Miami victory for his career, and the team’s aspirations for the future. With new additions to the team and a strong support system in place, Miranchuk is optimistic about what lies ahead for Atlanta United.
“From day one I felt a really warm welcome. As for the city, I really like it. It’s so green, so natural, all of that stuff. The stadium speaks for itself,” Miranchuk remarked, highlighting his positive experiences in Atlanta.
As Atlanta United gears up for the upcoming season, fans can expect to see Miranchuk continue to shine on the field and lead his team to further success. With a talented roster and a supportive fan base, the future looks bright for both Miranchuk and Atlanta United.
