The head coach understands the importance of the derby to supporters, but the objective for his players to remain the same: to win all three points. Of more concern to Peixoto are the selection decisions that need to be made

“All the games are important but this kind is more important to the fans than for us,” he admitted. “For us also we want to make the fans happy with us and we need them. The support is important for us, what they did in the last game, I think they watch the team, they look at the effort of the players. They look at the way the team play and in this game it is the same for us to fight, to win for three points.
