Odair encourages Santos' search for subscribers, but asks for calm: 'We don't have money'.
The discouraging start to the season drove the need for more reinforcements for the Santos squad. During a press conference after Peixe's victory in the Copa do Brasil, last Thursday (9), coach Odair Hellmann spoke about Alvinegro's financial problems and the importance of signings for the team. - If there was money left over to make 25 signings... But Santos didn't have any. Santos has to be creative, visualize the market, the price is very expensive. Any player is worth 10 million, 15 million, 20 million, salary above that. Businesspeople are going crazy... Calm down! - he declared.

We must act quickly and use this time to improve. Santos is open to possibilities. I don't say this in public because it really affects the hiring situation and values. Let's talk about adding more players, creating greater competition within the group and increasing the level of internal competitiveness. From tomorrow we will do this - said Hellmann. Odair does not want to create false expectations among Santos fans and considers the possible delay that the club faces in closing agreements with new players. - I confess that in this first week I don't know if the players will appear, the market is not that simple. Especially for a team that doesn't have money to hire. We know you need money to rent. The president and the CG (Governance Committee) continue to make efforts. Let's take it easy. The more we speed up the process, the better. But let's not create this expectation among the fans, that soon no one will show up and everything seems to be wrong. We won't take long, but everything will happen at the right time - explains the coach. Earlier this week, one day after Peixe's elimination from the Campeonato Paulista, the Santos commander met with Falcão and president Andrés Rueda to talk about the planning of the season and the performance played in Itu, to explain. - I have meetings every day with Falcão, with the president. It was a planning meeting, to talk about the previous game. One of the things I said was that the exception (defeat to Ituano) did not become the rule. In addition to training planning, the possibility of adding players to the squad - concluded Odair.
