Thaciano eyes revival at Santos after ending goal drought | OneFootball

The 1-1 draw between Santos and Atlético-MG last Sunday was significant for Thaciano. The midfielder returned to play after nearly two months.

The 30-year-old player hadn't been on the field since July 19, when Peixe lost 3-0 to Mirassol, away from home, for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Thaciano played for just over 25 minutes.

Since then, the midfielder has only been on the bench for six matches and was not even listed for the debut of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, in the 1-1 draw with Fluminense.

After the clash with Tricolor das Laranjeiras, the commander had two free weeks to train and make adjustments to the team. Thus, Thaciano managed to take advantage to, perhaps, start a new phase at Peixe.

The former Bahia player has not yet managed to establish himself in the Paulista team. Signed at the beginning of the season, the number 16 has played 24 games for the club, eight of them as a starter. He has scored three goals during this period.

Against Atlético-MG, Thaciano was called up at the 37th minute of the second half. Shortly after, the Paulistas managed to draw, with a penalty goal from Tiquinho Soares.
