Back to basics: São Paulo focus on weaknesses in training marathon | OneFootball

On the morning of this Sunday (8), at the Barra Funda Training Center, the São Paulo squad continued their preparations for the match against Chapecoense, scheduled for next Thursday (12) at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Canindé stadium, valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship.

Out of the finals of the Paulistão, the Tricolor continues its 'marathon' of training sessions that began last Thursday (5), which will extend for a week until their return to the pitch.

The day began with a warm-up led by the fitness coaches. Next, coach Hernán Crespo and his staff divided the squad into groups of four players, who faced each other in eight technical circuits using marked areas on the field. There were exercises focused on control, ball possession, passing, and finishing, aiming to improve some of the squad's weaknesses.

With an eye on the clash with the team from Santa Catarina, São Paulo will resume training this Monday (9) at 10:00 AM, once again at the Barra Funda Training Center.

The Tricolor is in 2nd place in the Brasileirão, with ten points earned in four matches – three wins and one draw – the same number as Palmeiras, who are ahead only on tiebreaker criteria.
