Part 5/8:
Despite the arrival of new players, Santos' manager, Caixinha, is being cautious with integrating the newcomers into critical matches. For example, while Barreal and Veron have already been registered for the state tournament, there seems to be a reluctance to throw them into pressure situations right away, especially given the recent surgery recovery statuses of Barreal and Rodrigo Souza. Their gradual inclusion into the squad will be essential for building chemistry and resilience, particularly heading into more competitive fixtures.
