Robinho Jr. was a key player in Santos' 1-0 victory over Palmeiras last Saturday at Vila Belmiro. The young forward came on in the second half and provided the assist for Rollheiser's goal in the final minutes, securing the win for the team.

In the post-match press conference, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda described Robinho Jr.'s strong performance as a "good headache." However, he avoided saying whether Robinho Jr. would have a chance to start against Mirassol in the next match.

"For the next game, I'll start thinking about it tomorrow. I have to analyze the opponent. These doubts when the team wins are good, the morale rises. The main thing is for Santos to win. The next game will be very difficult, and we are convinced that we need to be fully focused," said the coach.

The youngster is on the rise and has quickly won over the fans. His recent performance against Flamengo is one of the main reasons: in that match, Santos was losing 3-0 until Robinho Jr. came on in the final moments. With him on the field, the team pressured Flamengo and scored two goals from plays initiated by his passes.

Against Palmeiras, Robinho Jr. replaced Barreal 11 minutes into the second half, changed the pace of the attack, and was decisive by assisting Rollheiser in the goal-scoring play.
