Vojvoda tries at Santos for the duel against Fortaleza

The coach carried out some tests during Thursday’s activity and has not yet defined the lineup for the next round of the Brasileirão

Santos continues to prepare to face Fortaleza next Saturday (1st), at 4pm (Brasilia time), in Vila Belmiro, for the 31st round of the Brasileirão. The Peixe team trained this Thursday morning at CT Rei Pelé.

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda led the tactical training, as well as working on dead balls. Furthermore, the commander carried out tests on the team, rotating them during activities, as well as testing new formations. In fact, against Botafogo, in the last round, he surprised by using three defenders in the first half.

Vojvoda tested Willian Arão as the first midfielder, replacing João Schmidt, as happened in the defeat against Vitória, also in Vila Belmiro. In the second half against Botafogo the two players played together.

Another athlete under observation is midfielder Victor Hugo, who could have an opportunity as a starter. with Barreal retained in attack. Guilherme would therefore remain on the bench.

Zé Rafael returns to Santos after serving his suspension

The coach will train again this Friday to define the Peixe lineup that will face Laion. Vojvoda will be able to count on the return of Zé Rafael, disqualified in the last round. Souza, however, receives the third yellow card and is eliminated. In this way Escobar assumes the title of owner.

Neymar participated in all the physical preparation together with his teammates. Like last Wednesday, he did not carry out any activities involving physical contact. During the tactical work the number 10 found himself separated from the other athletes in the passage on the pitch.

In this way Santos will be able to take the field with the following formation: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres and Escobar; João Schmidt, Zé Rafael, Barreal and Rollheiser; Guilherme (Victor Hugo) and Lautaro Díaz.
