Ivonei and who else? See Meninos da Vila who can be promoted to Santos after Copinha

Santos’ season in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior ended this Sunday, with the team’s defeat against América-MG, 3-0, in the middle of Vila Belmiro, in the semifinals of the tournament. However, the elimination does not indicate scorched earth, and some Meninos da Vila should be employed in the professional squad.

The first to be promoted is Ivonei, great protagonist and top scorer of Peixe na Copinha, with four goals. The player can fill an old lack of the club in midfield and act as a link between defense and attack. Currently, in the main group, there is no unanimous athlete for this role.

Kevyson, on the other hand, can be a shadow for Lucas Pires, who has been in a bad phase since last season. Felipe Jonatan, who could be the substitute, suffers from back pain and is currently unavailable. Odair also tested right-back Nathan in the role as he had no other choice in the sector.

premature highlights

Other offensive star players, such as Deivid Washington and Weslley Patati, still have undefined futures. The duo are responsible for five Santos goals in Copinha, but are still considered premature (17 and 19 years respectively) and the club could choose to keep them for some more time in the sub-20.

Deivid had already attracted attention for the Under-17s, and is expected to participate in some professional training throughout the season, but is not yet expected to be promoted permanently. Same situation as Patati, who also made his debut in the first team last year, but still shows points to improve.

It is worth mentioning that Bolivian midfielder Miguelito, a familiar name among fans, is already part of Santos’ squad, but was released to travel to Bolivia following his mother’s death and has not yet returned. Defender Jair was another who could go up (almost related to Lisca, in 2022), but he broke his knee ligament and had to have surgery.

The fact is that Santos fans will be able to see some new young players at Peixe in the coming weeks. Afterwards, the team will face Água Santa, for the fourth round of the Paulista Championship, at 21:35 (Brasilia time) this Wednesday, in Vila Belmiro.
