Zé Ivaldo embodies Santos’ collective collapse as Internacional win at Vila Belmiro | OneFootball

Santos suffered another collective embarrassment at Vila Belmiro, beaten by Internacional, with Zé Ivaldo embodying the malaise.

According to Diario Do Peixe, the centre-back was given zero after an early second-half own goal, having already endured an error-strewn first half. Partner Adonis Frías received two as the pairing struggled to function.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão made three saves before the break, yet his uncertain aerial work persisted and he was blamed for Internacional’s second after half-time. Igor Vinícius was marked at three and struggled at both ends, while Escobar, at one, misplaced passes and offered little going forward.

Willian Arão and Rollheiser each took three and a half, Gabriel Menino and Christian Oliva four, the Uruguayan’s effort unable to change the picture.

Neymar was scored at three after a lamentable first half, then improved, converting a penalty that did not mask a poor display. Rony got two and was withdrawn at the interval, while Barreal took two, ineffective as a winger then worse at full-back.

Moisés, at four and a half, troubled the visitors most without truly impressing. Gabigol’s three and a half reflected minimal impact and a need for greater movement and fight.

Head coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda received zero, with the side labelled disjointed, predictable in attack and frail in the air, lacking creativity or clear patterns. President Marcelo Teixeira and sporting director Alexandre Mattos were handed minus 10 and blamed as chief architects of a dire year, having built the squad and backed Vojvoda. The Neymar project was judged not to have worked on the pitch, and Santos were again cast as serious relegation candidates in the Brasileirão for a second straight year since returning to the elite, with a string of recent errors, particularly from Mattos.
