Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda analyzed Santos' thrashing of Velo Clube in the post-match press conference. The Argentine coach believes his team played with great effectiveness.

“I think we achieved a lot of effectiveness, especially in the first half. We had a lot of ball possession, and every time we reached the area, we scored a goal. In the second half, possession increased even more, they had a player sent off, and we took advantage by creating many chances. We achieved a deserved result,” said Vojvoda.
