In this morning's training session at Ninho do Urubu, coach Joel Santana began to put together the team that he will put out on the field on Sunday against Santos at Vila Belmiro.

During the training session, which lasted nearly two hours, the coach demanded strong marking and a quick attacking approach. The team started with Bruno; Leonardo Moura, Irineu, Ronaldo Angelim, and Juan; Jaílton, Cristian, Ibson, and Roger; Renato Augusto; and Obina, later replaced by Souza. In the afternoon, Joel will lead a new tactical training session and take the opportunity to see the performance of Argentine striker Maxi. The training session pleased the players, who were excited about Joel's arrival. "At any club, a new coach changes the atmosphere when he arrives. We're going to take advantage of this moment to move on from the current situation," said Renato Augusto, avoiding any comparisons between Joel and his predecessor, Ney Franco. "They have different styles; there's no comparison. We have to adapt to whoever's coming in."
