Part 7/9:
There is an evident gap in team dynamics between Santos and Palmeiras. As discussed in the analysis, Palmeiras has been focusing on maintaining consistency while also experimenting with their squad depth, which includes integrating younger talents. This strategic foresight by Abel Ferreira has allowed for a solid foundation that remains consistent amid player rotations.
On the contrary, Santos seems to be undergoing growing pains with a new coaching approach and roster adjustments. The continual substitutions and tactical shifts indicate a team still searching for its identity in a competitive landscape.
