Santos behind scenes: Neymar, Gabigol push squad before Atlético-MG win | OneFootball

Last Saturday, Santos beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Vila Belmiro. The Alvinegro Praiano released behind-the-scenes footage of the win, which showed motivational speeches from forwards Neymar and Gabigol, asking the squad to stay focused on securing the three points.

“Today there are no excuses! If we play badly, it’s our fault. Today is a day for three points. The coach has gone over everything, we already know what to do. Now it’s up to us,” Neymar told TV Santos.

“We have to do even more than he asks. It’s what I always say, we always have to help each other. These three points can’t slip away from us again, at home,” he added.

Santos put in a good performance in the match, with the return of the two forwards, who made a difference in the win. Both even found the net, but both goals were disallowed.

“Come on, guys, stay strong. Show personality, confidence. We’re at home, there’s no better place for us to play than our home,” Gabigol concluded.

Santos’ situation

With the win, Peixe moved up to 14th place with 13 points, five more than Chapecoense. The team from Santa Catarina sits in 17th place, opening the relegation zone, with eight points, two fewer than Corinthians, the first team outside the bottom four.
