Dorival Júnior tests new tactics, drills basics at São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad held another training session on Saturday morning (20) at the Barra Funda Training Center, reaching the fourth day of activities during this mid-season break, a period in which the national calendar is paused for the World Cup.

After the warm-up, which included mobility, core, and technical drills, Dorival Júnior and his assistants led different ball-work sessions that refined offensive and defensive patterns, such as compactness, penetrating runs, playing out under pressure, and the movement of the defensive line.

To wrap up, the Tricolor coaching staff proposed a position-specific technical drill. Full-backs and forwards practiced crosses and finishing, while the center-backs worked on timing the ball and the defensive midfielders on directional control.

On Friday (19), São Paulo’s squad had trained in two sessions. The players underwent physical evaluations in the morning and took to the field in the afternoon. The data collected will help with planning individualized activities for this break in the calendar.

As such, Sunday (21) has been set aside as a day off for the squad, and São Paulo’s next training session will take place on Monday morning (22), once again at the club’s training center in Barra Funda.
