Artur trains with São Paulo for first time as Roger Machado runs drill | OneFootball

Sunday (29) was a training day for the São Paulo squad. In another session focused on next Wednesday’s match (1/4) against Internacional, coach Roger Machado led a full-team practice at the Barra Funda training center.

It was striker Artur’s first training session alongside his new teammates. The 28-year-old player, who belongs to Botafogo and agreed to a loan deal with Tricolor until December 31 of this year, had already visited the club’s facilities on Saturday (28), the day he arrived from Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and underwent several physical tests. He took part in every stage of this morning’s session and is scheduled to be officially presented on Monday (30) afternoon.

Sunday began with a warm-up led by the fitness coaches, which included a circuit of exercises. Then, under Roger Machado’s guidance, there was a tactical organization drill with running stimuli: at the coach’s signal, the players had to carry out coordinated movements at high intensity.

Finally, the coaching staff oversaw an 11-v-11 match in which Roger Machado gave instructions and tried out different players.

São Paulo will return to training on Monday (30) morning. The trip to Porto Alegre will take place on Tuesday (31), right after the morning training session. The match against Internacional will be played at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time on Wednesday at Beira-Rio, and it is valid for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship.
