No labels: Vojvoda aims to unite squad and boost Santos' form | OneFootball

Santos is hoping that Vojvoda can change the club’s course this season. The coach began working with the squad this Tuesday and, little by little, hopes to introduce his philosophy.

The manager, however, does not want to stick to just one tactical system. The idea is to have a good variety and change as needed.

“I don’t have a fixed idea; my tactical approach varies a lot. I am often an adaptive coach. I adapt first to what I have in the squad. I adapt to what may happen in the match, to the match strategy. I don’t want to label what kind of coach I am. I adapt a lot. I am a coach who seeks the performance of my players, I demand that. Individual performance has to help the collective. I have to get to know them and make the team work,” he said.

The Argentine also highlighted the importance of finding a balance between defense and attack.

“Football evolves in every aspect. The defensive part is something to work on, just like the attack. Football is not just defending or attacking. It is a whole,” he pointed out.

Vojvoda’s main goal is to boost the team’s performance, as they are coming off two straight defeats: 6-0 to Vasco and 2-0 to Bahia.

“The focus is on achieving performance. Santos demands immediate results. I went to Bahia and analyzed some things. I watched other matches as well. I will get to know my players and work for Sunday’s game. That is our priority. It’s a difficult moment, but we need to stick together, correct mistakes. We have to trust our squad and our players. We have to trust. I am convinced we have a good squad, we have little time before the transfer window closes, but it will be enough. A new coach motivates the players. The urgent thing is this: to get results,” he concluded.

Vojvoda’s debut is expected to be against Fluminense, in front of the Santos fans at Vila Belmiro. The match is scheduled for next Sunday at 4 p.m., also for the Brasileirão.

The Alvinegro Praiano is in 15th place, with 21 points, two more than Vitória, who are just above the relegation zone.
