"But they will want what's best for Santos. Will they share responsibility? No. I want the maximum from Neymar and Gabigol. That they don't share anything. That they add and multiply for the good of Santos. I will demand this because they can do it. Then, the coaching staff has to find the mechanisms so that they perform at the highest level."
"There were people who doubted Neymar last year and he, in difficult moments, physically diminished, showed commitment. I know what all of Brazil expects from Neymar, but I expect the same for Santos. And he's recovering at a good pace."
Santos managers expect strong performances from Neymar and Gabriel Barbosa after Gabigol scored in his first game back during a 2-1 Campeonato Paulista win over Novorizontino. Neymar signed a contract extension to remain at Santos and was seen congratulating Gabigol after the victory. Neymar underwent minor left-knee meniscus surgery on Dec. 22 and has begun recovery, with coaching staff reporting steady progress. The coach demands maximum contribution from both forwards and plans to develop tactical mechanisms for them to perform at the highest level. Neymar is expected to return before the start of Brazil's Serie A later this month.
