The players who played the longest against the Bragança Paulista team stayed inside São Paulo's facilities and followed the recovery schedule with exercises in the gym.
After a warm-up, the rest of the squad performed a mobility training on the field, under the guidance of the physical preparation team. Then, coach Roger Machado led an activity of coordinated pressure movements, followed by an 11 vs. 11 match in a designated area of the field, with tactical concepts.
To face Galo, the athletes will have a shortened preparation and will train for the last time before the match on Tuesday afternoon. Right after, the delegation will travel to Belo Horizonte.
Roger Machado will once again have a squad without new absences for the game against Atlético-MG. The only absence for the Tricolor is Ryan Francisco, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained last season.
With Sunday's result, São Paulo ends the sixth round as the leader of the Brazilian Championship, with 16 points – three more than Palmeiras and Fluminense, who are in second and third place, respectively.
