After Gaulat joined Santos, his initial performance was acceptable, but he was unable to contribute to 15 consecutive games in recent times, and the Brazilian media "atribuna" wrote that the reason for Gaulat's recent downturn is because he has been playing in the Chinese Super League for a long time, resulting in the inability to adapt to the rhythm of Brazilian football now.
Oliveira, a former Cruzeiro coach who once coached Gaulat, directly said that the time spent playing in China was too long for Gaulat to adapt to the fast pace of Brazilian football, "For so long in China, Gaulat has completely fallen into the rhythm of Chinese football, and he needs a long time to find the rhythm of Brazilian football." ”
Oliveira told Brazilian media outlet atribuna, "The last time I worked with Gaulat was 8 years ago, but after that, everything changed. Although Gaulat is likely to be more experienced after so many years of experience, his physical condition can no longer be compared with the blocking, and more importantly, after playing in China for so long, he needs to adapt to Brazilian football again. ”
In Oliveira's view, the level of Asian football is completely incomparable with Brazil, and even the training level of some leagues is low, so that Brazilian players are following the tide, "When I was coaching Cruzeiro, we brought in Diego Sousa, but his performance was not satisfactory. Before joining Cruzeiro, Sousa had very little training and playing in West Asia, so he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Brazilian football because the competition in Brazilian football was fierce, and Gaulat was now in the same situation. ”
After joining Santos, Gaulat scored 4 goals in the first 11 games, but has not been able to score in the last 15 consecutive games, 10 of which have not even assisted, so the Brazilian media has targeted the Chinese Super League where Gaulat once played.
