Time for revenge against the Roosters

Neymar scores the first goal in the loss at the Vila Belmiro

Tomorrow we face O Galo (The Rooster) away and revenge is the first thing on my mind. When we played earlier this year we lost 3×2 due to some poor referring decisions.

Not that I’m too confident. Our performance against Botafogo at home was as exciting as watching paint dry. There was no attacking threat, and the defense looked leaky as usual. The good news is that Edu Dracena and Gil signed their new contracts this week. The bad news is that Edu is injured. However, Gil makes it into the squad.

Goleiros: Felipe, Sérgio

Zagueiros: Adailton, André Astorga, Eli Sabiá, Fabão

Laterais: George Lucas, Léo, Pará

Volantes: Emerson, Rodrigo Mancha, Rodrigo Souto, Germano

Meias: Madson, Robson

Atacantes: André, Felipe Azevedo, Gil, Neymar, Kléber Pereira

Luxa’s should set out the team in a 4-3-2-1. It never works but apparently if it’s broke don’t fix it.
The team should be:

Felipe, George Lucas, Fabão, Eli Sabiá e Léo; Emerson, Rodrigo Souto e Germano; Róbson, Madson e Kleber Pereira

I’m still waiting to see Jean. The guy talked up how he loves to score goal when he came but he hasn’t looked too eager to make his debut. This game was supposed to be his first but he claims he felt something in his left thigh. Yeah, right.

For all the crap I’ve been giving K.P. this year, he has 9 goals which is just 4 off the lead for top scorer. He still has been rubbish most of the season though. Hopefully a we can snatch a draw or – God willing – even a win.

Força Santos!
