Even with one more player, Santos was unable to score in the São Paulo classic and was still punished in the final stretch of the match.
Even in a good phase of the season, the saints stumbled again this weekend. Playing at home, the team received the Corinthians and had one more player in most of the classic. However, the rival knew how to defend itself and even took advantage of the counterattack to win by 1 to 0 and stop the recovery of the Vila team.
Faced with yet another negative result, the coach Orlando Ribeiro criticized the mistakes made by Peixe. According to him, the team sinned more than Corinthians and, therefore, ended up being defeated. In addition, the Santos coach regretted the expulsion of Lucas Barbosa and talked about the delay to change the lineup.
“The analysis we make is that once again classics do not change, they are details. We have to always be on the lookout. The details were against us. We made more mistakes than Corinthians and that’s why we lost. The expulsion destabilized for three or four minutes. It’s natural. Corinthians felt safer because it equaled the number of athletes and ours was destabilized“, he assessed.
We had to see what happened, how our team would react and where we needed to change. That’s what we did. Time was good. But in the end, when we lose, it’s a sign that it didn’t work out“, added Orlando Ribeiro.
Last Saturday night, the 22nd, Corinthians stepped onto the pitch to play in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão and visited Santos. With one player less most of the time, Timão saw the refereeing be quite controversial against the hosts, but took advantage of the counterattack and secured the victory by the score of 1 to 0.
