The striker, author of a goal and an assist in Peixe’s victory over Bragantino this Wednesday (27), praises the group’s strong mentality
Santos secured their presence in the final of the Campeonato Paulista by beating Bragantino 3-1 at the Neo Química Arena this Wednesday (27). Guilherme, the team’s striker, was one of the highlights as he scored a goal and provided an assist for Joaquim.
After the game, Guilherme shot down the notion that reaching the state final was a surprise. For him, winning the place is undeniably the result of the hard work of the entire team since pre-season.
“I’m not saying it’s something unexpected. Santos is a club with a rich, successful, great history. This doesn’t happen by chance. Whoever wears this shirt understands the responsibility. Regardless of the stage, Santos enters the field to win, to go far Inside the club there are no surprises. It is the result of a lot of effort. We have a new group that has dedicated a lot. It may surprise those outside, but not “For us inside. Maintaining humility from the beginning. We don’t know who our opponent will be. The important thing is that Santos is in the final of the Campeonato Paulista.”
Guilherme bets on Pedrinho
Guilherme also praised his teammate Pedrinho. After an irregular start to the season, in which he lost his starting place, Pedrinho replaced Otero and contributed two assists.
“Pedrinho is a boy who worked a lot, I talked to him a lot. He has a positive mind, he dedicated himself to training, he helped us. Today he made two assists. He deserves it, as does the whole team. And “He’s an exceptional boy. He’s strong, he deserves it. And the fans too. Congratulations to everyone.”
Furthermore, the Santos striker also spoke about the secret to reaching the final. In short, for him, the idea of reconstruction that the club faces this season has been assimilated by all the players.
“First of all the secret is a word that we heard a lot during the pre-season. Reconstruction. It’s about the reconstruction of a gigantic club, we are at Santos, it was easy for everyone to assimilate it. The coach explained it and in short everyone they bought the idea. Everyone understood that we are rebuilding a great club, that we wear this shirt. When we enter the pitch we give our all and that’s why we are in the final of the Paulista Championship.”
Now Santos awaits the winner of the clash between Palmeiras and Novorizontino to meet their opponent in the final. The teams will finally face each other this Thursday, at 9.35pm, at Allianz Parque.
