This weekend has not been good for the Santoswhat lost by 3 to 1 the classic against Palmeirasfor the Paulista championship. With difficulties in the frame, Peixe still saw his former midfielder, the Uruguayan Carlos Sánchez, debut for his new club scoring the net.
Sánchez made his first match with Peñarol’s shirt this Saturday, for the first round of the Uruguayan Championship. Against Cerro, his team was leading 1-0 when, 12 minutes into the second half, the midfielder converted a penalty kick.
Santos, on the other hand, did not have a good result. Alvinegro Praiano has had a lot of difficulties at the beginning of the season and, with the defeat against palm trees, reached the fifth consecutive game without a win. In addition to the last place in Group A, the negative results were also the reason for an invasion by organized supporters of the CT do Peixe, which took place last Thursday.
One of the main problems of the Santos team this year is in the creation sector. Carlos Sánchez could be an alternative for coach Odair Hellmmann, but in early January he terminated his contract in common agreement with the club, anticipating the end of his bond, which was valid until the month of July.
To make matters worse, Santos still lost one of its main players in the last week. Striker Yeferson Soteldo had a total tear in the left pectoral tendon and had to undergo surgery this Saturday. Peixe did not say how long the player should stay away from the pitch, but the expectation is that he will not play again in the Paulista Championship.
Santos’ next match will be on Wednesday. In Canindé, Peixe will receive the São Bentoat 21:35 (Brasília time), hoping to win his second victory in Paulistão.
