“First, organize all the physical and tactical aspects, and then think about the start of the Paulistão. I’ll be able to achieve this organization in my first contacts with Fábio [coach], where we’ll align all the points and make the necessary adjustments to the new style of play. That way, when the competition arrives, I’ll be fully prepared,” the athlete added.

With experience in European football, as well as spells at clubs in Brazil, Gabriel arrived in São Paulo last Thursday (23rd) and has already started physical training with the coaching staff.
