Part 4/5:
Despite the clean sheet and a solid victory, there was a consensus that the Santos team needed improvement. Post-match analyses highlighted that while Guilherme had shone, the overall performance of the squad left room for growth. Their play seemed lackluster at times, particularly in the second half, where Mirassol appeared to have the upper hand, demonstrating greater energy and control on the field.
Critics pointed out that although Santos had registered a win, the quality of play was not up to par. They noted the absence of crucial players, such as Tiquinho, who was not on the bench as he had yet to be registered. There remains an acknowledgment that with the integration of new talent into the squad, this team could rise to new heights.
