How Vojvoda aims to boost Santos’ home form in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Santos ended in a draw with Grêmio, 1-1, this Wednesday at Vila Belmiro, during the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. This was another disappointing result for the club at home in the tournament.

The Peixe is the second-worst home team in the competition, with 16 points in 12 games. Only Sport, which is at the bottom of Serie A, is worse, with nine points in 12 matches.

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda wants to change this narrative and bring more joy to the black-and-white fans. The Argentine dismissed the idea that the team gets more nervous when playing at Vila and pointed out the path to success.

“No, they don't get more nervous. Everyone likes playing at Vila Belmiro. I prefer to feel the game with more on-field analysis or when the game ends. We were superior against Grêmio and São Paulo. I see the players eager to play at Vila Belmiro,” he said.

“We have to manage to win. What's the way? Defend well and attack a lot. The opponent arrived once or twice and managed to score. We arrived more and only scored one. We will keep creating. If we manage to score the goals, the three points will stay here,” he added.

Vojvoda has three matches at Vila Belmiro. There are two draws (0-0 with Fluminense and 1-1 with Grêmio) and one victory (1-0 over São Paulo).

Standings Situation

With the draw against Grêmio, Santos remains close to the relegation zone. Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team is in 16th place, with 28 points, five more than Juventude, which opens the Z4. However, the gap to the first in the relegation zone could decrease if Vitória (18th, with 22) beats Ceará at home this Thursday.
