The season doesn’t have a month of ball rolling, but Santos and São Paulo are already experiencing moments of instability. The alvinegra formation comes from bad results and has just fired its coach. The tricolor team also shows difficulty to win, with few and sweaty triumphs so far.
It is trying to gain breath and courage that the rivals face this Sunday (20), for the Paulista Championship. The match is scheduled for 6:30 pm this Sunday, at Vila Belmiro, in Santos, and will be broadcast on Record TV.
Winning can provide some relief, although Santos know that winning a derby is not a solution to all problems. The beach team beat rival Corinthians, in Itaquera, two weeks ago, and shortly afterwards found itself without a coach.
Fábio Carille couldn’t resist the 3-2 defeat to Mirassol, last Thursday (17th). He left the team with nine points in seven rounds of Paulista, an advantage of 42.9% enough for the second place in Group D.
“We can’t be too sorry,” right-back Madson said of the latest result, even before he learned about the boss’s dismissal. “Now we have a difficult derby at home. Inside Vila, we have to play well again and win.”
In the duel with São Paulo, the command will be with Marcelo Fernandes, a fixed member of the technical commission. He will face an opponent led by Rogério Ceni, who has been having trouble getting good performances out of his group.
Morumbi’s team has eight points in six rounds and occupies the second position of Group B. Their only two victories so far, over Santo André and Ponte Preta, were obtained with great difficulty. Then a weak performance in a goalless home draw with Inter de Limeira.
