Odair Hellmann rebuts criticism of the Santos team and talks about reinforcements: ‘I’m the last to abandon ship’

– In two days I have an important match, my best warriors are those inside. They are the ones who will take the field on Saturday and defend Santos, trying to give their best. I will charge for the things we need, to evolve individually, collectively. But it is the boys who will enter the field. I trust the group. I will give strength to the boys, I will create opportunities. Opportunities for everyone to join, play for us to build a team in this difficult time. I believe in players. I will be the last to abandon ship – said Odair, defending the team. He completed speaking of reinforcements:

– About the players (signings), I don’t speak publicly. Because it generates a whole trading expectation, of prices going up, prices going down, the market is like this. All I need to talk about is internally. I speak with Falcão, I speak with the management. We talk and work together to make the best decisions.

In addition to defending the athletes, Hellmann guaranteed that he believes in the evolution of the work and that the players are assimilating the ideas. He cited the draw with Água Santa as an example, but said there was room for improvement.

– I believe in work, in better interaction, in the consistency of a team. We have to evolve in different aspects. Today, for example, we defend a little better. We defended the counter-attacks, we had better conditions to initiate the counter-attacks, we held the ball, we passed, we shot. But we couldn’t be blunt and turn that possession into a goal.

Little time between games

– We are in the Paulista Championship looking for a team, looking for team building, a reconstruction. We couldn’t repeat the same team in any of the four games. I would also like to try to repeat the same team from the first game, but I didn’t succeed. Then change the parts, features. It’s not the ideal solution, so there are things to fix.

Too many direct links

– The direct connection happened a lot in the last game. We talked, it’s not a trained situation. Our idea is to try to make an initial construction to clear the field more. We tried today, but we got too close to the defenders to receive the ball, and the men in front were too far away. When the defender received the ball, he had enormous distance. When pressed, you make the ball stretch or throw it back.

Água Santa strategy

– They came with line five, three inside. They closed down center field, took the play radius, and had the guys in front play to take the out. The two managed to score four outings, because the midfielders and fullbacks fell.

Canindé or Vila Belmiro?

Change logistics. I asked if we could go to train in Canindé on Friday morning. It’s more about using positioning, set pieces and feeling the pitch. Since arriving, I’ve been referring to Vila Belmiro for reference. Every time I came here, it was very difficult to play for Santos. Even if you don’t put in a good performance, you create a balanced situation playing at home. I would like to create this identity here within the Vila. The Santos fans booed during half-time and at the end today, but when they needed support they sang.
