Vojvoda set to make few changes for Santos against Juventude | OneFootball

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is already thinking about the next Santos match, against Juventude, for the 37th and penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship. The idea is to make as few changes as possible for the match in Caxias do Sul.

Vojvoda made many changes to the team in the last two games. However, for the final two rounds, the Argentine’s plan is to keep the core of the team.

He explained that any substitutions will be due to physical or strategic reasons, aiming for the decisive clash.

“I can’t guarantee the next lineup. When we played against Inter, some players had a long run and were at risk. I know I made many changes, but I trust all the players. We have a few days to recover. The idea is to change as little as possible. The changes will be for strategy or physical reasons,” he commented.

Another relegated team

In the next round, Santos will once again face a club that has already been relegated. With the results of the round, Juventude has had its relegation to the Second Division confirmed.

Vojvoda, however, wants the team to stay focused and warns that Peixe still needs points to secure its place in Série A.

“The positive thing for Santos is to go into the next game with focus. Our goal has not yet been achieved. Teams want to win, Sport today with their difficulties in the standings, relegated, but when the ball rolls the players want to win. We will be very attentive, we need the points. We know our situation,” he warned.

Standings situation

With the win over Sport, Santos overtook Vitória and Internacional, leaving the relegation zone and moving up to 15th place in the standings, with 41 points. Peixe’s advantage over Leão da Barra, who is just inside the Z4, is two points.
