Santos x Santo Andre


Tomorrow we face Santo Andre at home. This is a must win game after the loss against Corinthians. That was a game we should have won, we snatched defeat from the jaws of defeat with some comical defending.  

Here's the squad for the game:

Alan Patrick (meia)
André (atacante)
André Astorga (zagueiro)
Douglas (goleiro)
Eli Sabiá (zagueiro)
Emerson (volante)
Fabão (zagueiro)
Felipe (goleiro)
Felipe Azevedo (atacante)
George Lucas (lateral)
Germano (volante)
Kléber Pereira (atacante)
Léo (lateral)
Luizinho (lateral)
Madson (meia)
Neymar (atacante)
Pará (lateral)
Rodrigo Mancha (volante)
Rodrigo Souto (volante)
Triguinho (lateral)

 
The squad is looking a bit depleted.  Ganso and Robson are out through yellow card accumulation. Ganso would be missing anyway since he has been called up for the Brazilian U20 side so he'll be missing for the next couple of weeks. Alan Patrick and Andre have been called up from the base to fill the squad. Maikon Leite is still injured but Fabio Costa is doing light training. 

Here's  hoping for a win and three points at home.

  3. Yeah, he didn't play last night. But he already played for Santos this year, the two first games of the championship. Sunday against Sao Paulo he might enter by the end but I doubt it. Let's see, he will probably play very little on the whole. We just wanted to say goodbye to the man.

    I'm originally from Santos but I have been living in the United States for the past three years.

  5. My friend.... as you saw he is not here only for "goodbye", but he is still capable to lead the team to win the Paoulista. Robinho-Neymar-Giovanni ... Please search for second place... the first place is for Santos FC..
