Brazão urges calm as Santos battle Z4, admits: We'll suffer till the end | OneFootball

One of the few standouts for Santos in the defeat to Palmeiras this Thursday at Allianz Parque, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão spoke about the team’s current situation in the Brazilian Championship. With Peixe in the relegation zone, the keeper calls for a “cool head” and believes the squad is capable of turning things around, but admits that the fight against relegation will last “until the end.”

“It’s all up to us. We have to keep a cool head, work hard, and avoid making excuses right now. We put ourselves in this situation and we need to have the character to get out of it. We’re playing for Santos, we need to show that character. We know we’ll struggle until the end of the championship, but we hope to turn this situation around,” said the player.

Brazão avoids making excuses and talks about “a lot of hard work.” The next challenge is anything but easy. Santos faces Flamengo, the runner-up in the Brasileirão, right at Maracanã.

“We’re going to believe until the end. We know the situation we’re in, we have to do more and show character. We have to get Santos out of this situation. This is a time for few excuses and a lot of hard work. On Sunday, against a great team, we have another opportunity to earn points. That’s what we need to get out of this situation,” he commented.
