He didn’t play the first leg of the final of the Copa Libertadores because he is still healing from an injury. “Penarol is a strong opponent,” he told ESPN Brasil. “It was a good result to draw there, now with a victory, we’ll be champions next Wednesday.”
During the coming trainings, Ganso hopes to convince Murcy Ramalho that he can play. The coach won’t take his decision alone: the medical staff will have their say in the matter.
“I’m preparing myself to be in condition for Wednesday. I want to play so bad. I want to help my colleagues to conquer this title so important for Santos’ history,” he said.
