Frías sees a more confident Santos after the win, believes in a turnaround | OneFootball

Newly hired, Adonis Frías is determined to help Santos to bounce back in the Brazilian Championship. After making his debut as a starter against São Paulo, the defender adopted an optimistic discourse and believes that the 1-0 triumph in the derby will boost the team's morale.

"I'm happy because, as I said in the presentation, I came here with the challenge of helping to put Santos back where it needs to be. We know the moment we are going through, but I believe we can get out of this place where neither we nor the fans want to be. And I know that this victory will give us much more confidence for the sequence we will have," he said.

The Argentine also commented on the feeling of playing for the first time at Vila Belmiro. The 27-year-old defender celebrated the opportunity to feel the warmth of the crowd.

"I was very eager to play here at Vila Belmiro. As soon as I arrived at the club, they took me to learn about Santos' history at the Memorial and I was very anxious for the debut with our fans," he analyzed.

"Arriving at the stadium on Sunday, with the fans accompanying and supporting us outside the bus, I was missing the adrenaline of South American football, because here in Brazil it's very similar to Argentina. Everything was very beautiful and even better to achieve the victory in the derby," he concluded.
