Rollheiser hits one year at Santos, still chasing first goal | OneFootball

Signed with high expectations, Benjamín Rollheiser is still trying to establish himself at Santos. This Thursday, the attacking midfielder marks exactly one year at the club, but without the expected success.

In total, he has played 49 matches, starting in 34 of them. During this period, he contributed to only seven goals—scoring three and providing four assists.

Currently, the Argentine is going through an uncomfortable drought. The last time he was involved in a goal was on January 10, which means it’s been over a month. He has gone eight consecutive matches without scoring or assisting.

On the bench!

In poor form, Rollheiser ended up losing his spot under coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda and is no longer a starter. In the last five games he played, he started only once—the 2-0 defeat to São Paulo at Morumbis, in the Campeonato Paulista.

Signed on February 12, 2025, the midfielder cost Santos 11 million euros (R$65 million at the time). Due to the high investment made with Benfica, the fans’ demands for a more consistent performance from the Argentine have been increasing.

Now, Rollheiser will try to respond this Thursday, in the match against Athletico-PR, for the third round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The ball will roll at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba, starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
