Rollheiser hopes Castelão luck ends Santos goal drought | OneFootball

With Neymar out due to injury, Rollheiser has become one of the main hopes for Santos. This Sunday, the attacking midfielder tries to lead the club in the match against Ceará, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, and end a drought of over four months.

The Argentine hasn't scored since May 1st, in the 1-1 draw with CRB, at Vila Belmiro, during the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. Since then, he has played 18 more times and hasn't scored in any of them.

Hope

A factor that might encourage Rollheiser to break this negative streak this Sunday is the good memory he has of Arena Castelão. The number 32 shone in the stadium during the 3-2 victory of Peixe over Fortaleza, on June 12th, for the 12th round of Serie A.

On that occasion, the attacking midfielder provided an assist and was directly involved in the own goal by goalkeeper João Ricardo. In the added time of the second half, the Argentine took a long shot and hit the post. The ball, however, bounced off the goalkeeper's back and ended up in the net, sealing the victory for the team from São Paulo.

Rollheiser's Numbers

Signed at the beginning of the year, Rollheiser has played 27 matches for Santos, being a starter in 23, with one goal and two assists.
