Santos fans want Robinho Jr. in the starting line-up against Mirassol | OneFootball

Robinho Jr. was a key player in Santos' 1-0 victory over Palmeiras last Saturday at Vila Belmiro. The young forward came on in the second half and provided the assist for Rollheiser's goal in the final minutes, securing the alvinegro triumph.

In the post-match press conference, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda saw Robinho Jr.'s good performance as a "good headache." However, he avoided saying whether he will have a chance as a starter against Mirassol in the next match.

"For the next game, I will start thinking tomorrow. I have to analyze the opponent. These doubts when the team wins are good, the mood grows. The main thing is for Santos to win. The next game will be very difficult, we are convinced that we need to be at our concentration limit," said the coach.

A survey conducted by Gazeta Esportiva asked Santos fans if they approved of the player's starting role. The result was overwhelmingly favorable: 72.18% of participants supported the young forward starting among the initial 11, while 27.82% were against it.
