São Paulo to play two same-day friendlies v Paulista rivals: agenda | OneFootball

After drawing 0-0 with Bragantino this Saturday (4), São Paulo confirmed that it will play two more training matches next weekend during this period of preparation while the team is on break for the World Cup.

As reported by the club, next Saturday (11) Tricolor will play two friendly matches against opponents from São Paulo at CT da Barra Funda, facing Primavera at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) and Santo André shortly after, at 2 p.m.

Dorival Júnior’s coaching staff will put together one team to face Primavera and another to take on Santo André. This will allow each player to get more playing time compared to the previous training matches, when São Paulo used one lineup in the first half and another in the second.

So far, Tricolor have played two training matches in this midseason period, drawing both: 2-2 with Juventus and 0-0 with Bragantino. Then, on the 17th (Friday), São Paulo’s plan is to hold two more warm-up matches before the Brasileirão resumes.

The Morumbi side is scheduled to return to the pitch on July 22, a Wednesday, against Athletico-PR in the Brazilian Championship. The match is officially a home game for Tricolor, but it will not be at Morumbi, which will once again be occupied by concerts.

After having Sunday (5) off, São Paulo’s players return to work on Monday morning (6) to train at CT da Barra Funda. Tuesday (7) will be the only day with two training sessions before the matches against Primavera and Santo André.
