São Paulo back in training: Crespo calls up Copinha star, top scorer returns to Cotia | OneFootball

São Paulo returned to training this Monday (19th) at the Barra Funda Training Center to begin preparations for the next phase of the Paulistão, where their next match will be against Portuguesa in the middle of the week.

The Tricolor team is coming off a 1-1 draw in the Majestoso against Corinthians last Sunday (18th) in the state championship.

This morning’s activities at Barra Funda included young players from the Cotia Training Center, who were called up by coach Hernán Crespo to join São Paulo’s tactical training session.

The Argentine coach took advantage of the session, which was divided into three blocks, to make adjustments to the team and simulate game situations.

Midfielder Pedro Ferreira, who helped São Paulo qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copinha against Bragantino, took part in the training at the center, while forward Paulinho—who was included in the squad for the classic against Corinthians last weekend—returned to the under-20 team to strengthen the squad for the decisive match against Botafogo this Monday (19th) at 9 p.m. in Sorocaba.

This Tuesday (20th), the Tricolor squad will hold their final training session to wrap up adjustments to the team in this hectic start-of-year schedule, already focusing on the clash with Lusa.
