Vojvoda backs Guilherme after boos in Santos defeat | OneFootball

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda defended Guilherme after Santos' 1-0 defeat to Vitória on Monday, during the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The forward was heavily booed by the black-and-white fans at Vila Belmiro.

“The fans express themselves because they are passionate. At this moment, I don't know if there's much reasoning. I trust Guilherme. The fans will continue to support. He has been playing great games. Today he missed the goal because he was on the field; players who participate have the chance to succeed and fail,” said the coach.

The Santos fans lost patience after the number 11 missed a clear chance to equalize. In the second half, he received a perfect cross from Igor Vinícius but missed the header.

Guilherme was substituted in the 33rd minute of the final stage and was heavily booed by the fans. It was the fifth consecutive game in which the forward failed to score. His last goal was in the 1-0 victory over São Paulo on September 21.

In the season, the 30-year-old player has played 38 matches, 37 as a starter. He is the club's top scorer, with 14 goals.

Standings Situation

With the defeat, Santos is now in the 16th position, with the same 31 points as Vitória, which remains in the relegation zone due to having one less victory in the tournament.
