Santos opens the game on Soteldo’s punishment: “We can’t…”

After another defeat in the Brasileirão, the saints started the week with a hot head and issues to resolve. One of them concerns the expulsion of Soteldo against America-MG. At the end of the game, the number ten complained to the referee and was shown a yellow card. By insisting and cursing Leandro Pedro Vuadenhe received the red and angered the fans.

However, Peixe was not moved by Soteldo’s apology. According to information from the “GE” website, the board fined the attacker for the expulsion. It is worth mentioning that the recurrence in cases of indiscipline weighs against the number ten and led to the measure being taken by the director Alexandre Gallo to avoid new problems.

In the face of the case, Santos spoke through Gallo and explained how the decision to punish Soteldo was made. “It was very simple and very direct always. Defending Santos is what I’m here for. It’s my eighth season defending Santos. It won’t happen to me with any athlete (indiscipline case). We respect him a lot, we count on him, he is very important to us“.

“But it is clear that this will always be number one, we cannot accept any act that we understand is not normal. When it got out of the ordinary, I went in and had this attitude. I spoke with his representative, he understood perfectly. The player apologized on the networks. The rep himself apologized and we hope it doesn’t happen again“, concluded Gallo in an interview with GE.

For those who don’t remember, Soteldo was away from Peixe for more than a month. At the time, he was suspended by the club after disobeying the coach Paulo Turra and refusing to train after one of the South Americana games. In view of this, the Venezuelan was on the negotiation list, but did not find anyone interested in his football.
