Grêmio return to training after São Paulo win, start prep for Bahia clash | OneFootball

Less than a day after the 2-0 victory over São Paulo at the Arena, the Grêmio squad returned to training on Friday morning at the Luiz Carvalho Training Center. The team began preparations for the match against Bahia, scheduled for Sunday at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

How was the training?

The starters who played more than an hour against the São Paulo team stayed indoors for recovery activities. The other players went out to the field, where they performed physical and technical exercises under the supervision of Mano Menezes’ coaching staff.

After warming up, the players took part in a training session on a reduced field, focusing on quick offensive movements, short passing exchanges, and finishing. The activity aimed to speed up transitions and improve decision-making in attacking plays.

Certain absence

Midfielder Dodi, who received his third yellow card in the match against São Paulo, is a definite absence for the game in Salvador. Mano Menezes is expected to decide on his replacement in Saturday’s training session, the last before the trip. The squad will travel to the capital of Bahia in the early afternoon, after finishing activities.

Grêmio’s situation

With the win over São Paulo, Grêmio reached 36 points and moved away from the relegation zone, regaining momentum in the competition. Now, the goal is to confirm their recovery away from home against a Bahia side coming off a 2-1 defeat to Vitória at Barradão.
