QPR midfielder Sandro will put friendships with Chelsea players who travel to Loftus Road for a huge Premier League clash to one side on Sunday.
While the lowly hosts chase points in the battle to avoid relegation, the Blues will be hopeful of cementing their grip on the league title.
However, Sandro admits friendships with Oscar and Ramires will be forgotten for 90 minutes as Rangers seek to climb out of the relegation zone with a victory over the league leaders.
Looking ahead to the west London derby, the Brazilian said: "I'm friends with Oscar and Ramires so it's going to be hard because they are the top team and not easy to play against.
“We do things together but just off the pitch as friends, on the pitch – no friends."
As for the task of taking on the Blues, he added: "I like that challenge. It is not about them being scared but when you are a professional footballer you respect each other.
“I have to just show on the pitch and do my best to stop them.
"I am a QPR player and I am going to fight. No one is thinking about next year, just these six games.
“I can tell you everyone feels quite happy and that we can do this together. It is just about winning."
