Santos player ratings: Zé Ivaldo the worst in defeat to Inter | OneFootball

Santos lost 2-1 to Internacional last Wednesday night, right at Vila Belmiro, in the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão went from hero to villain, while players like Zé Ivaldo, Arão, and Rony were also negative standouts. Neymar and Gabigol had average performances, while only Moisés truly stood out.

Gabriel Brazão could have finished the match as a hero, but ended up becoming the villain. The goalkeeper made important saves throughout the game and saved Santos on several occasions, but failed on Internacional’s second goal by pushing the ball back into the box. It landed at Carbonero’s feet, who dribbled past the defender and scored.

Zé Ivaldo also had a very poor game. The defender gave too much space to Internacional’s attackers and failed in several attempts to win the ball. He also struggled in the air and even scored the own goal that opened the scoring for Colorado in a bizarre attempt to clear the ball. Terrible performance.

William Arão also failed to impress. The midfielder was given a starting opportunity with the changes made by former coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, but didn’t take advantage. He was very slow in marking and tackling and couldn’t find his place on the field. He also made many passing errors and didn’t help in attack. Poor game.

Finally, another who disappointed was Rony. The forward ran and, as always, gave his all, but made many poor decisions. He was inaccurate in his passes and crosses, and was substituted at halftime.

Neymar and Gabigol, meanwhile, had flashes. The attacking midfielder started very poorly, but improved a bit in the second half and managed some important through balls, in addition to scoring the penalty goal. Gabigol also made some good plays and even found the net, but was offside. There were only a few good moments from both, who should have delivered more.

Finally, Moisés was the only one who stood out. The forward came on at halftime in place of Rony and became the team’s main outlet, taking advantage of his speed and one-on-one plays. He also won the penalty converted by Neymar. He helped a team that didn’t want to be helped.

Current standings

With this result, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda was dismissed from Santos. The team has now gone three games without a win in the Brazilian Championship, with two draws and a loss, and has not managed to climb out of the bottom of the table. Santos also dropped to 16th place, with six points.
