At the training ground: Dorival works on São Paulo's attack | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad continued its midseason training schedule on Wednesday afternoon (8) at the Barra Funda Training Center. Head coach Dorival Júnior led activities that combined physical development with specific tactical concepts, aiming for the return of official competitions.

Work on the pitch began with a warm-up circuit focused on mobility routines, motor control, and technical fundamentals.

Next, the players were split into three different teams to carry out simultaneous drills in separate areas of the field.

In one of the areas, two groups faced off in a drill focused on building offensive tactical structures.

At the same time, the third group completed a session focused exclusively on rehearsing and positioning for attacking set plays.

Matchup adjustments and schedule

In the final stage of training, the coaching staff led a small-sided drill simulating attack-versus-defense situations.

The exercise pitted seven attacking outfield players against eight players positioned in the defensive sector, working on qualities such as compactness, quick transitions, and decision-making under spatial pressure.

According to the established logistical plan, the Tricolor squad will report back on Thursday morning (9) at the training center to continue preparations.

São Paulo will return to the field for official matches on the 22nd (Wednesday) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, when they will face Athletico-PR in Bragança Paulista (SP) in the Brazilian Championship.
