Santos Secures Vital Win, But Questions Remain for Vojvoda
Santos emerged victorious from a crucial match against Noroeste, winning 2-1. Goals from Rony and an own goal by Pedro Carrerete secured the points for the Peixe, although Carrerete also found the net for the opposition. Despite facing a team considered weaker and playing with a man advantage for a significant portion of the game, the team’s performance raised some concerns.
Gabriel Brazão proved to be a standout performer, making decisive saves that were fundamental in guaranteeing the victory for the Alvinegro Praiano. This performance prompted Juan Pablo Vojvoda to issue a warning, highlighting issues that need to be addressed within the team.
Gabigol’s Performance Under Scrutiny
According to exclusive information from Bolavip, the coach has expressed concern over the below-par performance of Gabigol, who arrived at the club with high expectations for this season. Vojvoda is actively working to find solutions to help the forward regain his best form, focusing on addressing weaknesses and building a team that can maximize his potential.

This expectation for improvement is also linked to the pressure Vojvoda is facing internally from the board, given that Santos has the fourth-highest payroll in Brazilian football.
Pressure Mounts on Vojvoda
Recent results have led to questions about his work, with names like Cuca and Renato Gaúcho being speculated as potential replacements.
Santos’ next challenge will be in the Campeonato Brasileiro, where they will face Athletico-PR on Thursday, February 12th, at 7:00 PM at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba.
