Zé Rafael: Santos improving, better results just a matter of time | OneFootball

Starting in all matches under the technical commission of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, Zé Rafael analyzed the situation of Santos. The team has been unbeaten for five matches and tries to maintain its invincibility this Sunday, against Ceará, away from home, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

“We have evolved a lot over these last few weeks. The games have been better in terms of tactics, physicality, and technique. We have noticed this difference and I believe it is only a matter of time until the results show up and our phase really improves,” said the number 6.

“We work very hard for this to happen as soon as possible. We know that the club's moment is delicate and difficult, but I am sure that we will bounce back and I hope that on Sunday we can play a great game, return with the three points and remove any doubt from the fans,” he added.

Enchanted Goal

Zé Rafael has played 17 games for Santos and is still looking for his first goal. The 32-year-old player hit the post twice last Wednesday, in the 1-1 draw with Grêmio. In one of them, Lautaro Díaz took advantage of the rebound to score the goal for the black and whites.

“My first goal is taking a little while, but I don't think there's much to say. The work is being done, we have been training, improving, so it really is a matter of time, and a little bit of luck too. It could have been in this last game, but in the end Lautaro managed to take advantage of the rebound. I hope mine comes out as soon as possible so that I can celebrate a lot,” concluded the midfielder.
