New arrival Gabriel Menino aims to cement his place in Santos' XI | OneFootball

Next Thursday, Santos host Remo at Vila Belmiro at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. Newly arrived at Alvinegro Praiano, midfielder Gabriel Menino is looking to establish himself under Cuca after going through an inconsistent spell with Vojvoda at the start of the year.

Starting spot

Last Sunday, in the 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro at Mineirão, Menino started for the team in the first match under coach Cuca. Before that, he had been on the bench in four straight matches, against Vasco, Mirassol, Corinthians, and Internacional.

The midfielder, who started for most of the Campeonato Paulista, lost ground under Vojvoda after being sent off in the derby against São Paulo in the state tournament. Now, the expectation is that, with the new coach, Gabriel will once again become a regular in Santos’ starting eleven.

On loan from Atlético-MG since the start of this season, Menino has made 14 appearances in Peixe’s shirt. Wearing No. 25, he has scored two goals so far during his spell at Santos.

Santos’ situation in the Brazilian Championship

After drawing with Cruzeiro, Santos reached seven points and moved out of the relegation zone. Alvinegro Praiano are in 16th place, one point ahead of Botafogo, who are 17th.
