Why did Santos lose to Corinthians?
Firstly, it is important to understand why Santos lost to Corinthians, a bitter defeat.
The Corinthians squad is superior
Firstly, Corinthians players are better than Santos players.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the Corinthians team improved a lot, hence the team's growth in the championship.
Even more so without Marinho, one of Santos' main players in the current season.
However, does the superiority of the cast justify such superiority?
Corinthians' desire was greater
In other words, Santos did not see the classic as a classic, pushed by their fans, the Corinthians players ran more.
Corinthians' marking was more adjusted, the players on the Santos team didn't seem to be in a classic.
Furthermore, the team still has a risk of relegation, although small, but it still has a chance.
The team needs to maintain the performance and desire shown in other games, even more so in a classic.
The team playing the way it did cannot be accepted, Santos is not a small team, the players need to be charged.
But it's not all wrong either
In the last 5 games Santos managed 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The chance of relegation has greatly reduced.
Now Santos needs to stay focused on winning the next games, to get a place in the Sul Americana or even the Libertadores.
Upcoming games
Finally, Santos' next games will define the year 2022.
Santos plays Fortaleza at home on Thursday at 7pm. Then he will go to Porto Alegre to face the international on Sunday at 7 pm.
Ultimately, the players need to take responsibility and give the fans hope for 2022.
Santos probably won't have any major signings for next year, this squad, with some base reinforcements, should be the reality.
With Carille and a few other reinforcements, can this team win a title in 2022?
Why did Santos lose to Corinthians?
There was a lack of cast, there was a lack of will, there was a lack of quality, there was a lack of personality.
