SANTOS DECIDED BOX
In the last conference ahead of Santos, Pedro Cabininha admitted the bad phase at the beginning of the Brazilian Championship. It was the foreshadowing of the decision of the Santos board on Monday afternoon.
– I assume this bad start, the results speak for themselves. The results mark the difference to the coaches, but that does not change anything in me, the way I see the game, how I prepare to work. It changes nothing about my belief in the ability to lead the group to do what we have ability. It gives me more strength, I have this inner strength in myself and at these times I give more and better of myself – said box, in a press conference, after the defeat.
Box in collective.
