Guest of CNN Sports S/A this Sunday (6), Pedro Martins, CEO of Santos, evaluated the importance of a renovation in Vila Belmiro. According to the leader, the management of President Marcelo Teixeira wants to leave a legacy to improve infrastructure, which involves the club’s CT and also the stadium.
“The stadium is another great pillar of his management (Marcelo Teixeira), the president has been making long conversations with partners and analyzing the possibilities so that he can make the Santos stadium a structure consistent with the size of the institution. Today Santos loses money when he plays at Vila Belmiro.“Pedro said.
We recognize the historical value she has. She has our sports strength, winning Santos in Vila Belmiro is not easy. But we believe the club needs to jump about what its stadium is today to increase its revenue capacity. We are talking here that football is becoming increasingly competitive through a very high investment volume, and you can not give up such an important recipe as this, which is the day of the game, which is the great asset you have to sell, simply because we do not want to modernize Vila Belmiro.

Although the club understands that Vila Belmiro renovation is important, this is not an easy task. O has not a set date for. “Vila Viva Luck” will be built by Construra Wtorre, which is still in negotiations for final adjustments.
While not starting and the village’s capacity continues without meeting demand, Santos thinks of alternatives. One is to send games in Sao Paulo, Pacaembu or other stadiums.
“Santos do not need to play all their games within the city of Santos. He can choose a few moments to play in Sao Paulo, this has happened last year. Pacaembu is a great possibility, a possibility that we have taken into consideration. But we can also take into consideration the possibility of playing in other stadiums within the city of São Paulo. This meets a demand from the Santos fan who lives in the city,” Pedro Martins explained.
According to CEO do Peixe, the relationship with other clubs in Sao Paulo is good and there is no lock so that Santos cannot use other stadiums, such as Neo Chemistry Arena, Morumbis or Allianz Parque.
“Every time these conversations happened, they were productive, very positive. President Marcelo’s relationship with all the clubs in the capital is extremely productive and very sincere, at no time I could find lock. Obviously they will always defend one date or another that can not happen, because their clubs will play in the stadium. But the moment we find the balance in the financial aspect, in the sports aspect, and then we try to make the decision between playing in the village or playing in São Paulo, ”he concluded.
