With a focus on set-piece drills, São Paulo held its final training session this Tuesday (20th) before the match against Portuguesa, which will take place on Wednesday night (21st) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Morumbi, for the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista.

The morning at the Barra Funda training center began with a video shown to the players by the coaching staff.

Next, already on the pitch, the players went through a warm-up session with the fitness staff before making final adjustments to the team: with the presence of young players from Cotia, the squad worked on both defensive and offensive set-piece drills.

There was also additional technical work and finishing exercises for part of the group.

With a sequence of four games in just ten days and another derby on the horizon (the club faces Palmeiras over the weekend), the tendency is for the team to rotate and give opportunities to reserves in a mixed lineup.

The tricolor team is expected to line up with Rafael; Cédric Soares (Maik), Ferraresi (Rafael Tolói), Dória and Nicolas; Pablo Maia, Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio and Lucas (Lucca); Luciano (Ferreirinha) and Calleri.
