Rollheiser: Santos ready for Corinthians, all mistakes fixed | OneFootball

This Monday, Santos held their penultimate training session at the Rei Pelé Training Center before the derby against Corinthians, scheduled for Wednesday night. Midfielder Benjamín Rollheiser assessed the team’s training week as positive and sees the team ready for the clash.

“I believe we are ready. The team trained well this week, we prepared well and corrected all the mistakes we made against Ceará. And we are preparing well for Wednesday, which is an important match, a derby, and we’re counting on the support of our fans,” he said.

“A derby has greater importance. We played well against São Paulo, which is also a big game, and that gives us extra motivation to put in a good performance against Corinthians,” he added.

Home stand

After the derby, Santos will have another Brazilian Championship fixture at home. The Alvinegro Praiano will host Vitória in a head-to-head on the table, since at the moment the difference between the two is just one position and three points.

“Yes, of course [about making Vila Belmiro count]. It’s two home games in a row. We know these are important matches for our run, so we have to take this opportunity to pick up points and climb the table. But first we have to play well against Corinthians and only then think about Vitória,” he concluded.

Position in the table

With 28 points in 16th place, Santos is seeking its first win over Corinthians this season to try to move away from the threat of relegation. Santos is three points clear of the drop zone, and a win would be crucial to, in the next round, have the chance to extend the gap to Vitória, who are right behind them in the standings.
