After Friday afternoon's tactical training session in Gávea, coach Andrade assured that off-field factors will not influence the team's performance on Sunday against Santos at Vila Belmiro. According to Andrade, the team is focused on achieving a positive result in São Paulo.

"We have to try to forget these political issues; we're professionals. We need to embrace this. We're capable of playing well against Santos. The team is excited, and we're going for the win."

Andrade confirmed Toró's return and said he will wait for Zé Roberto until moments before the match.

"We'll keep Toró as long as he can handle it. If necessary, I have the option of playing Fabrício or Camacho. Zé Roberto might not be fit to play, so we'll see. I hope he can play."
