Despite the triumph obtained by Santos in the Copa do Brasil, Marcos Leonardo adopted a cautious and rational attitude; Peixe was eliminated early in the Campeonato Paulista
Leonardo Marcoswhich defends the saintsopened the game on the Brazil’s Cup and the victory won last Thursday, the 10th. Although Peixe got the better of Iguatu calmly, the number 9 highlighted that the cast ‘didn’t do more than the obligation’. It is worth noting that Alvinegro was eliminated early from the Paulista championship.
“Thank God for everything. We didn’t do more than our obligation. We have time to work. And work”spiked Marcos Leonardo after the confrontation. “Work every day, improve a little bit of each, to arrive strong in the South Americanat the Brazilian and on Brazil’s Cup. The right word is work to improve”.
The striker also explained how the rout was possible: “We create more, we finish more plays, we shoot on goal, we cross. I think that was a little lacking against the Ituano, compete more. No more silly team. Iguatu came, tried to work the ball, play. Congratulations to the group, the teacher and all the staff. We will work hard”.
SANTOS IN FIELD
the match between saints and Iguatu still had a somewhat melancholy rhythm. This is because the match was not attended by fans, who were unable to follow the game in loco due to the invasion of the lawn in the elimination to Corinthians in 2022, and due to the bad phase that the team is going through. Without having to make a great effort, Peixe beat the Cearenses with ease and with the right to goals from Leonardo Marcos (2x) and Lucas Barbosa.
Santos’ victory was important to respond to the elimination and embarrassment he experienced during the last round of Paulistão. On Sunday, the 5th, the team faced Ituano, at the Novelli Jr stadium, and lost by 3 to 0. If it had only drawn, Peixe would have advanced to the quarterfinals of the state. The team will now have a month to prepare for the Brasileirãowhich will begin in April.
