Santos sees revolt of fans in Sudamericana, and Marcos Leonardo vents

The crowd of saints lost patience with the team during the night of last Tuesday, 6th, in Vila Belmiro. The fans lit firecrackers and made the athletes stay in the center of the lawn to wait for the aggressive movement coming from the stands to pass. When the athletes went to the changing rooms, objects were thrown amidst a series of boos and insults. After the 2-1 defeat against Newell’s Old Boys, Leonardo Marcos vented in relation to the revolt of Santos.

Still on the pitch, the Santos striker gave an interview to “Conmebol” and made it clear that the feeling of the fans after the game is valid. He put himself at the head of the group and apologized to everyone who went to Vila Belmiro to watch the defeat by Newell’s Old Boys. According to Marcos Leonardo, the team will need to give an answer as soon as possible.

First of all, just apologize, the result didn’t come at home, it’s our obligation to win here. It’s about continuing, working quietly, with humility, focusing on the Brazilian and giving the answer over the weekend.”vented.

While Marcos Leonardo was giving an interview and apologizing, Santos fans were still irritated in the stands. After leaving the place, the fans went to the front of Vila Belmiro and started a new protest. In addition to criticizing the team, protesters attacked Andres Rueda. A little more excited, they had to be expelled by the Military Police. Nothing serious happened during that time.

It is worth mentioning that the negative result against Newell’s Old Boys complicated Santos in the Copa Sudamericana. With only one victory in the competition, Peixe has four points and one game more than Audax Italiano. The rivals face Booming this Wednesday, 7, at 21h (Brasília time), and if they win, they will eliminate Santos from the competition.
