Aguirre regrets that Santos wasted chances, but sees improvement in performances
Santos beat Atlético-MG 2-0 in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. Captain Diego Aguirre made a 'celebration' for the chances Peixe missed in the first half. - We knew it would be a very difficult game. We came here to try to be protagonists. At the beginning Atlético attacked and after the goal we had control of the game. We had clear goal situations. There were four close situations. If they don't get a draw against a strong team like Atlético, they have to take advantage of their opportunities. We scored from a dead ball and then it was very difficult to turn the game around. The team's initiative was good, we tried to win, but we couldn't - said the coach. + Have you updated your 2023 game? Check out Peixe's new uniforms! However, despite the negative results and the team remaining in the relegation zone of the Brasileirão, the Santos coach saw an improvement in the performance of his players. - For me, the team is improving. Not even two weeks of work have passed. The team is improving. The victory against Grêmio was very important. I think we have a lot of confidence and importance and we will have to move forward. We will win and we will lose, but we have to play a little, like we did today, and we will work to make that happen - concluded Diego Aguirre.

The key was that the team was able to score. He tried to play and dominated the game for a while. These are things that happen and we will have to improve to take advantage of opportunities, especially away from home when we need to take advantage of the opportunities we have. SANTOS NEVER GOES THROUGH A GAME WITHOUT A GOAL. We work on everything. We worked on defense and attack and scored two goals, facing a very quality team. They took advantage of the situation and I think the defense is also improving, showing good things and we will continue to believe. We will have to return here in Minas, we have a very important game. We have to trust each other because the team, for me, is improving. For me, this team was better than the previous games. JOÃO LUCAS' PERFORMANCE AT SIDELAND In the last game, Joaquim received a yellow card. Joaquim left and João Lucas entered. It was a natural decision that we needed all the players. For me, today, João Lucas played a good game. We have to take advantage of our chances, but Atlético Mineiro also took the lead and we were unable to control the game as we did in the first half. For me, the set-piece goal killed the game and then it was very difficult to beat an Atlético Mineiro team supported by the fans. ATLÉTICO PARTY AT THE NEW STADIUM I loved the stadium. I think it's great for Brazilian football to have this type of quality stadium. We must know that it was a party for them. They played a good game and the field was very good.
