Rony eyes tough run to stake claim for Santos starting spot | OneFootball

Forward Rony had barely arrived at Santos and already made his debut against São Paulo last Saturday. The 30-year-old player started the San-São on the bench, but came on during the first half to replace Miguelito. 

In the match against Tricolor, besides receiving a yellow card just two minutes after coming on, Rony put in a lackluster performance, with one shot off target, only 22 touches on the ball, and seven accurate passes out of nine attempted.
