São Paulo end training week before two more Saturday run-outs | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad trained this Friday (10) at CT da Barra Funda and continued making adjustments during the midseason break amid the World Cup pause.

The Tricolor players began the day with a warm-up led by the fitness staff, who oversaw motor control and possession drills.

Then, with the aim of activating the elements worked on during the week, Dorival Júnior’s coaching staff organized a contest between three teams: while two faced off on a reduced-size field, the third worked on building plays with long passes, crosses, and finishing.

The players also went through additional technical work focused on specific skills by position, as well as free kicks and penalties.

That wrapped up the team’s week of training, since this Saturday (11), at CT da Barra Funda, São Paulo will play two training matches: the first, at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), will be against Primavera. Then, at 2 p.m., São Paulo will hold a session with Santo André.

Dorival Júnior’s coaching staff will put together one team to face Primavera and another to take on Santo André. That way, each player will be able to play more minutes compared to the previous training matches, when São Paulo used one lineup in the first half and another in the second.

So far, Tricolor have played two training matches during this midseason break, both ending in draws: 2-2 against Juventus and 0-0 against Bragantino. Then, on the 17th (Friday), the club plans to play two more warm-up matches before the Brasileirão resumes, when they face Athletico-PR on the 22nd.
