São Paulo: Crespo may use three at the back vs Palmeiras | OneFootball

The São Paulo team trained on the morning of this Friday (27th) at the Barra Funda training center, continuing their preparations for the semifinals of the Paulista Championship. The single match against Palmeiras will be held at Arena Barueri starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) on Sunday (1/3).

The players who spent more time on the field in the match against Coritiba performed mobility exercises in the gym and then went to the pitch for additional physical training.

For the rest of the squad, Hernán Crespo and his coaching staff proposed mobility work and coordination exercises on the pitch, followed by an attack versus defense dynamic and a tactical 11 versus 11.

Preserved in the match against Coritiba, right-back Lucas Ramon, defender Sabino, and midfielder Danielzinho participated in this activity. Forward Lucca, who was absent from the match in Curitiba (PR) due to pain in his left thigh, once again performed individualized work.

For the decision against the rival, Crespo is uncertain about the Tricolor's system for the game. He is evaluating the scheme with two and three defenders, remembering that Alan Franco will serve an automatic suspension due to his expulsion in the quarterfinals against Bragantino.

The probable São Paulo lineup for the classic is expected to be Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Arboleda, Sabino, and Enzo Díaz; Bobadilla, Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio, and Lucas (Rafael Tolói); Luciano and Calleri.

The Tricolor will train again on the morning of this Saturday (28th) at the training center, finalizing preparations for the classic.
