Vojvoda experiments as three-man defence becomes an option at Santos | OneFootball

An old request from some Santos fans, the line with three defenders could become a reality at Santos. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda has been doing some tests during training at CT Rei Pelé. The coach saw the options for the defense increase in the last transfer window.

The club, which already had Luan Peres, João Basso, Luisão, and Zé Ivaldo, was reinforced with Alexis Duarte and Adonis Frías.

With six players for the sector, therefore, the use of the line of three defenders would not leave the reserve bench precarious. With three starters, three would still be left out.

Vojvoda's old acquaintance, Adonis Frías highlighted the versatility of the Argentine commander and revealed that he has been tested in different ways in training.

“Vojvoda has the ease of playing with various schemes, with three or four in defense. In training, I am varying, on the left, right or libero. Wherever he needs, I will try to do my best. In Mexico, I played a lot of time as a libero too. With a line of four, I played on the left. In Defensa y Justicia, I was on the right. I have no problems. I can do both,” he said.

Frías started training at CT Rei Pelé last week and is excited about his new teammates. The 27-year-old player highlighted the quality of the other Santos defenders.

“I knew my teammates. I was surprised because I only saw them in matches never on a daily basis. They are very good defenders. We are competent. We will try to do our best for the team. Vojvoda has very clear game plans. We will prepare in the best way. We hope to have a good match already on Sunday,” he concluded.
