São Paulo, Brazil
Na one intense match wey happen for Vila Belmiro, Santos go fit only manage draw with Grêmio at 1-1. E happen for 25th round of Campeonato Brasileiro, and wahala no dey finish for the Peixe o! E be like say dem dey try all their best but that finishing touch just no dey show face.
Edenílson na him open the scoring for Grêmio in the second half, but no worry, because Lautaro Díaz gree reply quick-quick to equalize for Santos. But make I tell you say the match no lack drama as Grêmio almost score first in the first half only for VAR to cut dem short because of one controversial handball wey involve Edenílson. If dem no fit score that one, wetin them dey expect to happen?
As the match dey enter the last minutes, na im Santos dey start dey pepper Grêmio small. Lautaro and Tiquinho show face for one big chance to score, but wahala dey as Lautaro try to do some kind Carrinho style and Tiquinho go just waste am by shooting straight for Grando, the Grêmio goalkeeper. Kai! Many fans dey vex because them dey shout say “Abeg, no fit miss two clear chances like that!” (Na true talk be this, why dem dey waste chances wey fit change the game?).
As the result be now, Santos dey hold on tight to the 16th position, just five points above the relegation zone. This one no good o, because dem dey fear say dem fit waka go lower if dem no step up for the next matches. Meanwhile, Grêmio don rise to 9th position with 34 points, dem dey enjoy their own side of the game.
Na true say Santos get many chances, but “na to create na im dey get wahala with finishing,” na wetin one padi talk wey dey watch the game. The criticisms wey fans dey throw for their players no fit stop as dem dey ask wetin happen to their lovely team, saying “These chances no suppose dey waste!”
The coach dey face plenty pressure, schools of “Vojvoda, wetin you dey do?” dey fly around social media. Even one padi come ask, “Why Robinho Jr dey only enter when dem dey lose? Na wah o!” (No be lie, if dem dey win, dem no go call our boy – na when all don nearly scatter, dem go remember am).
As e be now, Santos contract is getting tighter! Dey wan push am make dem sit up before dem go learn am the hard way. But one thing wey that match don teach us be say, every point matter. Dey get next matches to shine and make am up for that league table. Dasabi wetin I sabi as I drop my glass of palm wine here!
