Good results bring hope to Santos
Firstly, the recent good results bring hope to Santos. But 2021 is a year to forget.
First of all, Santos is very big, and deserves a better team than the one in 2021.
Santos, winners so many times, with important titles in its history, and spectacular teams, did not even remotely resemble this current team.
It's November and the year ends without any titles, and worse, with a team fighting to avoid relegation to Serie B.
But the good results bring hope to Santos.
Saints of so many titles
The history of Santos is so beautiful, from the time of Pelé, the greatest player of all time, to the days of Neymar, Santos has won a lot.
Champion of São Paulo, Brazil, Libertadores or World Cup, Santos has many important titles in its gallery.
Your fans have already taken to the streets to shout “We are champions” many times, your fans have already celebrated a lot.
Saints of great players
The team of stars: (60-69): Gylmar, Lima (Carlos Alberto Torres), Mauro, Calvet and Dalmo, Zito and Mengálvio, Clodoaldo, Dorval and Coutinho (Toninho Guerreiro), Pelé, Pepe (Edu).
They only won 23 titles in a decade. Was this team any good?
More recently we had another very good generation, I highlight athletes like Robinho and Digo, Neymar and Ganso.
Teams feared by rivals, which enchanted the club's fans and others, everyone stopped to watch Santos.
Bad year
Contrary to its history, Santos in 2021 did not win titles and did not play well, it does not look like Santos.
Ugly football, passing errors, no offensive construction, few goals, and many defeats, not even remotely reminiscent of the club's history.
But the latest good results have given Santos hope.
Two good results
Santos had a good victory against Fluminense at Vila Belmiro, and an excellent victory at Arena da Baixada against Athletico.
Santos won again, and with that opened up 5 points from the feared Z4.
Now it's time to maintain the best performance and good results, move away from series B and think about 2022.
Santos fans deserve a better, more competitive team. The base can be their salvation, as it has historically been.
What Santos cannot do is give up its winning history and start entering competitions without the possibility of winning them.
Santos' next game is against Palmeiras at 4pm at home, and they will need to get a good result.
Finally, we expect a strong Santos in 2022.
