I’ve always liked the team. The difference lies in the occasions that did not turn into goals: last time we could have scored 4 goals too. When you manage to score in every scoring opportunity, the judgments after the match change. The other big topic of discussion was precisely Kaio Jorge, at the heart of many market items: “Interest of you? I don’t like talking about the market, I won’t talk about possible substitutes. We played well without him too, but I hope that Kaio Jorge stay until December. He told me he would like to leave the front door, with a reward for the Santos. Until then, I will use it. “

However, as also specified by the coach, Santos intends to monetize from the sale of its best player and would be willing to accept even a few million in order to make a small capital gain. Cherubini at the moment has offered 1-2 million, but the Brazilian club would like something more. The distance is now minimal and the deal could close very soon.
